Estimating the term…
A system and method for quantitatively assessing the vulnerability of a computer network, comprised of elementary network elements each having at least one host, to external attack. The method produces a quantitative assessment that is repeatable and can be compared to a quantitative assessment of a separate network to determine the relative vulnerability of the network. The quantitative assessment is a function of the quantitative assessment of each elementary network unit, which is derived by classifying each port on each host and subsequently determining a quantitative vulnerability rating for the elementary network unit in accordance with the classification of each port on each host.
A method of quantitatively assessing the vulnerability of an elementary network unit, including at least one host, in which the state of, and application bound to, each port is known, the method comprising:
A application program for quantitatively assessing the vulnerability of a computer network based on the state of, and application bound to, each port received from a network scanning application, the computer network being logically grouped into at least one elementary network unit having at least one host, comprising:
A graphical representation for displaying computer network vulnerability, comprising:
A method for evaluating risk in a computer network, the computer network having at least one elementary network unit, comprising:
