A method is described that takes into account the investments done in the security and/or achieved security confidence in planning new security measures. The method uses new integral security metrics and the well-known graded security model. A precondition for the application of this method is the availability of expert knowledge or statistical data for the model in use that describes a class of situations where the analyzed security situation belongs to. For a number of situations at present, this information has been extracted from standards of graded security. For specific military communications applications the data must be collected from a log analysis of characteristic attacks and security reports, as well as by the traditional knowledge acquisition means.
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.
