== How is risk score calculated?

. The risk scoring engine runs hourly to aggregate `Open` and `Acknowledged` alerts from the last 30 days. For each entity, the engine processes up to 10,000 alerts.
+
NOTE: When <<turn-on-risk-engine, turning on the risk engine>>, you can choose to also include `Closed` alerts in risk scoring calculations.

. The engine groups alerts by `host.name` or `user.name`, and aggregates the individual alert risk scores (`kibana.alert.risk_score`) such that alerts with higher risk scores contribute more than alerts with lower risk scores. The resulting aggregated risk score is assigned to the **Alerts** category in the entity's <<host-risk-summary, risk summary>>.

If you're installing the risk scoring engine for the first time:

. Find **Entity Risk Score** in the navigation menu.
. Turn the **Entity risk score** toggle on.
. On the **Entity Risk Score** page, turn the toggle on.

You can also choose to include `Closed` alerts in risk scoring calculations and specify a date and time range for the calculation.
