Abstract

The use of tools for monitoring the security state of assets in a network is an essential part of network management. Traditional risk assessment methodologies provide a framework for manually determining the risks of assets, and intrusion detection systems can provide alerts regarding security incidents, but these approaches do not provide a real-time high level overview of the risk level of assets. In this paper we further extend a previously proposed real-time risk assessment method to facilitate more flexible modeling with support for a wide range of sensors. Specifically, the paper develops a method for handling continuous-time sensor data and for determining a weighted aggregate of multisensor input.
