Abstract:
With the increase of IT assets and attacks against them—along with increased attention to, and concern for, cybersecurity and the survivability of systems—systems assurance assessment has become more important than ever. This article describes a flexible process for assessing systems with respect to security and survivability. We discuss how our approach enables assessments throughout the project life cycle by tailoring the testing to a specific evaluation scope in terms of depth and coverage.
