Minimum-cost network hardening using attack graphs
In defending one's network against cyber attack, certain vulnerabilities may seem acceptable risks when considered in isolation. But an intruder can often infiltrate a seemin...

Interactive Analysis of Attack Graphs Using Relational Queries
Abstract. Attack graph is important in defending against well-orchestrated network intrusions. However, the current analysis of attack graphs requires an algorithm to be developed ...

Attack Graph Based Evaluation of Network Security
Abstract. The perspective directions in evaluating network security are simulating possible malefactor's actions, building the representation of these actions as attack graphs...

Correlating Intrusion Events and Building Attack Scenarios Through Attack Graph Distances
We map intrusion events to known exploits in the network attack graph, and correlate the events through the corresponding attack graph distances. From this, we construct attack sc...

Tools for Generating and Analyzing Attack Graphs
Abstract. Attack graphs depict ways in which an adversary exploits system vulnerabilities to achieve a desired state. System administrators use attack graphs to determine how vulne...

A Host-Based Approach to Network Attack Chaining Analysis
The typical means by which an attacker breaks into a network is through a chain of exploits, where each exploit in the chain lays the groundwork for subsequent exploits. Such a ch...

Measuring Network Security Using Bayesian Network-Based Attack Graphs
Given the increasing dependence of our societies on information systems, the overall security of these systems should be measured and improved. Existing work generally focuses on ...

A Mobile Ambients-Based Approach for Network Attack Modelling and Simulation
Abstract—Attack Graphs are an important support for assessment and subsequent improvement of network security. They reveal possible paths an attacker can take to break through se...
