A Tool for Security Risk Assessment for APT Attacks: using Scenarios, Security Requirements, and Evidence

Abstract

Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks are complex, employing diverse attack elements and increasingly intelligent techniques. This paper introduces a tool for security risk assessment specifically designed for these attacks. This tool assists security teams in systematically analyzing APT attacks to derive adaptive security requirements for mission-critical target systems. Additionally, the tool facilitates the assessment of security risks, providing a comprehensive understanding of their impact on target systems. By leveraging this tool, security teams can enhance defense strategies, mitigating potential threats and ensuring the security of target systems.
