# Risk information fields
Fields for describing risk score and risk level of entities such as hosts and users. These fields are not allowed to be nested under `event.*`. Please continue to use `event.risk_score` and `event.risk_score_norm` for event risk.
<warning>
  These fields are in beta and are subject to change.

## Field reuse

The `risk` fields are expected to be nested at:
- `host.risk`
- `user.risk`

Note also that the `risk` fields are not expected to be used directly at the root of the events.
