Abstract

The paper suggests an automated approach to risk assessment for computer networks with mobile components. The approach is based on the modeling of attacks against computer network as attack graphs and application of open databases of attack patterns and vulnerabilities. Distinctive features of the attacks against networks with mobile components are analyzed. On the base of this analysis we develop the technique of attack graph generation taking into account vulnerabilities of software and hardware for mobile access points as well as weaknesses of mobile devices and mobile connection channels. The technique for calculation of risk assessment metrics is suggested. Operation of the technique for the attack graph generation and calculation of risks is shown on a sample network with mobile components.
