Measuring systems security

چکیده
Security metrics have evolved side by side with the advent of security tools and techniques. They have been derived from the techniques rather than specified as system requirements. This paper surveys the evolution and state of the practice of security metrics from both a technical and historical perspective. It describes the evolution of currently popular security metrics, and classifies them to illustrate their utility in systems engineering verification and validation activities. It provides criteria with which to evaluate security metrics based on system purpose and architecture. The criteria are illustrated using a case study of Cloud System security. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 16: 1–14, 2013

متن کاملTowards Measuring the Project Management Process During Large Scale Software System Implementation Phase
Project management is an important factor to accomplish the decision to implement large-scale software systems (LSS) in a successful manner. The effective project management comes into play to plan, coordinate and control such a complex project. Project management factor has been argued as one of the important Critical Success Factor (CSF), which need to be measured and monitored carefully duri...
متن کاملA Framework for Measuring Security as a System Property in Cyberphysical Systems
This paper addresses the challenge of measuring security, understood as a system property, of cyberphysical systems, in the category of similar properties, such as safety and reliability. First, it attempts to define precisely what security, as a system property, really is. Then, an application context is presented, in terms of an attack surface in cyberphysical systems. Contemporary approaches...

متن کاملA Novel Index for Online Voltage Stability Assessment Based on Correlation Characteristic of Voltage Profiles
Abstract: Voltage instability is a major threat for security of power systems. Preserving voltage security margin at a certain limit is a vital requirement for today’s power systems. Assessment of voltage security margin is a challenging task demanding sophisticated indices. In this paper, for the purpose of on line voltage security assessment a new index based on the correlation characteristic...
متن کاملProbability and Time in Measuring Security
The paper discusses some possible approaches to measuring security of timed and probabilistic models of systems. We discuss problems concerning the leak of information and the resistance of executions of security policies, and propose quantitative characteristics of security. Algorithmic questions related to the computation of these characteristics are formulated for finite transition models.
