ATTACK STATUS EVALUATION APPARATUS, ATTACK STATUS EVALUATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244388 titled 'ATTACK STATUS EVALUATION APPARATUS, ATTACK STATUS EVALUATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that evaluates the status of a cyberattack that steals information. The apparatus includes two units: a degree of goal achievement calculation unit and an attack route change determination unit.
- The degree of goal achievement calculation unit calculates the extent to which a goal is achieved in the cyberattack, based on the stolen information.
- The attack route change determination unit decides whether to change the attack route of the cyberattack based on the degree of goal achievement.
Potential Applications
- Cybersecurity: This apparatus can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of cyberattacks and identify vulnerabilities in a system's security.
- Incident Response: It can assist in analyzing and understanding the impact of cyberattacks, helping organizations respond and recover more effectively.
Problems Solved
- Assessing Attack Effectiveness: The apparatus provides a quantitative measure of how successful a cyberattack is in achieving its goals, allowing for better evaluation and response.
- Adaptive Attack Strategies: By determining whether to change the attack route based on goal achievement, the apparatus enables attackers to adapt their strategies and increase their chances of success.
Benefits
- Improved Security: The apparatus helps identify weaknesses in a system's defenses by evaluating the effectiveness of cyberattacks.
- Enhanced Incident Response: By understanding the impact of cyberattacks, organizations can respond more effectively and mitigate the damage caused.
Original Abstract Submitted
An attack status evaluation apparatus () that emulates a cyberattack that steals information includes a degree of goal achievement calculation unit () and an attack route change determination unit (). The degree of goal achievement calculation unit () calculates a degree of goal achievement that indicates a degree to which a goal is achieved in the cyberattack based on information that the attack status evaluation apparatus stole. The attack route change determination unit () determines whether or not to change an attack route of the cyberattack according to the degree of goal achievement.
