## Title of Talk: SECURITY RISK ANALYSIS OF ENTERPRISE NETWORKS

### ABSTRACT:

Protection of computer networks from malicious intrusions is critical to the economy and security of our nation. The objective of this talk is to give an overview of the *techniques*and *challenges*for security risk analysis of computer networks. A standard model for security analysis will enable us to answer questions such as “are we more secure than yesterday” or “how does the security of one network configuration compare with another one.” In this talk, we will present a methodology for security risk analysis that is based on the model of *attack graphs* and the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (*CVSS*)*.*Our techniques analyze all attack paths through a network, for an attacker to reach a certain goal.

Keywords: Network Security, Attack Graphs, Risk Analysis
