A Method Based on Global Attack Graph for Network Hardening
Dapeng Man, Wu Yang, Yongtian Yang · 2008
In order to improve the overall security of networks, a method of making strategies for network hardening based on global attack graphs is proposed. This method calculates the reachability of network states by using a global attack graph firstly, and then the security loss of network states and the criticality of security elements are got. Security elements are removed based on the rule of maximum-criticality-first. The operability of security enhancement strategies made by this method is better than traditional methods.
