SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE SECURITY POSTURE OF A NETWORK

摘要

A method for assessing the security posture of a network comprising the steps of creating a system object model database representing a network, wherein the system object model database supports the information data requirements of disparate network vulnerability analysis programs; exporting the system object model database of the network to the disparate network vulnerability/risk analysis programs; analyzing the network with each network vulnerability analysis program to produce data results from each program; and correlating the data results of the network vulnerability analysis programs to determine the security posture of the network, and a system therefor.
