Threat-Based Risk Assessment for Enterprise Networks

Abstract

Protecting enterprise networks requires continuous risk assessment that automatically identifies and prioritizes cybersecurity risks, enables efficient allocation of cybersecurity resources, and enhances protection against modern cyberthreats. Lincoln Laboratory developed a foundational network security maturity model to guide development of such risk assessments and has developed practical risk metrics for the most important cyberthreats. These metrics can be computed automatically and continuously from security-relevant network data.
