What is it about?

A semi-automated approach named FMECA-ATT&CK is proposed for accessing the cyber risks in a variety of cyber-physical systems. Data encoded in the ATT&CK framework and inferences from a given system model enable comprehensive, biased-reduced component-level risk assessments and mitigation measures to be delivered with fewer efforts and reduced time.

Why is it important?

The cyber risk assessment process is iterative, time-consuming, and relies heavily on expert judgment. To support the continuity and comprehensiveness of such a process, FMECA-ATT&CK is proposed.

Perspectives

FMECA-ATT&CK is the start of a research direction that aims to integrate the comprehensive system and threat modeling into several risk management processes across the system development lifecycle. Its domain-agnostic nature and comprehensive threat model extended from a live threat information source (ATT&CK) allows it to be an adaptable, extendable, and up-to-date model-based risk assessment tool.
