Risk Analysis with Execution-Based Model Generation
Analyzing risk is critical throughout the software acquisition lifecycle. System risk is assessed by conducting a penetration test, where ethical hackers portray realistic threat on real systems by exploiting vulnerabilities. These tests are very costly, limited in duration, and do not provide stakeholders with “what-if” analyses. To alleviate these issues, system models are used in emulation, simulation, and attack graph generators to enhance test preparation, execution, and supplementary post-test analyses.
This article describes a method for developing models that can be used to analyze risk in mixed tactical and strategic networks, which are common in the military domain.
A Collaboration Pipeline for Cybersecurity Research, Analytics, and Tools
Cybersecurity Data Gap Network and host-based sensors collect data that are foundational for current-day cybersecurity technologies such as intrusion detection and prevention systems. However, for cybersecurity incidents, these data only tell a part of the story. Lacking are the data… Read More
