Information security management is one of the most important issues to be resolved. The key element of this process is risk analysis. The standards are (ISO/IEC 27000, ISO/IEC 31000) based on the complex and time consuming process of defining vulnerabilities and threats for all organisation assets. In the article we present a new approach to analysing the risk of an attack on information systems. We focus on human factor-motivation, and show its relation to hacker profiles, as well as impacts. At the beginning we introduce a new model of motivationbased risk analysis. Then we describe case study illustrating our approach for a simple set of organisation processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
