MULTI-LAYERED GRAPH MODELING FOR SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823923 titled 'MULTI-LAYERED GRAPH MODELING FOR SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for analyzing the security risk of a system architecture by identifying hardware and software components, generating a multi-layered graph based on these components, extracting properties from the graph, computing security metrics, and quantifying the security risk.

  • Identifying hardware and software components of a system architecture
  • Generating a multi-layered graph based on the components
  • Extracting properties from the graph
  • Computing security metrics based on the properties
  • Quantifying the security risk of the system architecture

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as cybersecurity, network security, and system architecture design.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying and quantifying security risks in system architectures, allowing for proactive measures to be taken to mitigate these risks.

Benefits

- Improved understanding of system architecture security - Proactive identification of security risks - Enhanced security measures based on quantified metrics


Original Abstract Submitted

One embodiment of the invention provides a method comprising identifying hardware and software components of a system architecture, and generating a multi-layered graph based on the hardware and software components. The multi-layered graph includes a hardware layer representing a lowest level of hardware architecture of the system architecture. The method further comprises extracting one or more properties of the multi-layered graph, computing one or more security metrics based on the one or more properties, and quantifying a security risk of the system architecture based on the one or more security metrics.
