Enhanced Model for Efficient Development of Security-Audit Criteria

Abstract:

Cyberattacks have grown in importance to become a matter of national security. A growing number of states and organisations have been developing defensive and offensive capabilities for cyber warfare. Security criteria are important tools for defensive capabilities of critical communications and information systems. This paper enhances an earlier model for efficient development of security-audit criteria. The paper includes a case study that applies the model to existing security criteria. The results indicate that the model is useful for reviewing existing criteria. The results also suggest that the model would be useful for criteria under development.
