Abstract
Methods and systems for generating an attack path based on user and system risk profiles are presented. The method comprises determining user information associated with a computing device; determining system exploitability information of the computing device; determining system criticality information of the computing device; determining a risk profile for the computing device based on the user information, the system exploitability information, and the system criticality information; and generating an attack path based on the risk profile. The attack path indicates a route through which an attacker accesses the computing device. The system exploitability information indicates one or more of: the vulnerability associated with the computing device, an exposure window associated with the computing device, and a protection window associated with the computing device. The system criticality information indicates one or more: assets associated with the computing device and services associated with the computing device.
