Security Metrics Based on Attack Graphs for the Olympic Games Scenario

Analysis of security risks and calculation of security metrics is an important task for Security Information and Events Management (SIEM) systems. It allows recognizing the current security situation and necessary countermeasures. The paper considers technique for calculation of security metrics on the base of attack graphs and service dependencies. The technique uses several assessment aspects or levels (topological, attack graph level, attacker level, events level and system level) and allows customization according to different parameters of SIEM system operation. We discuss also the application of this technique for the "Olympic Games" case study.
