Information security risk analysis model using fuzzy decision theory

作者:

Highlights:

• A risk analysis model for information security was proposed.

• The model is based on fuzzy decision theory.

• A taxonomy of events and scenarios using ETA methodology was developed.

• Alternatives can be ranked based on the criticality of the risk.

• The model provides information regarding the criticality causes of attacks.

• Results show that deliberate external database attack is the most risky alternative.
