Abstract

This paper discusses a model of security situational analysis that allows for the effective prioritization of security vulnerabilities for action by operations. Key topics include the analysis of the application interdependence at all levels from within the individual systems to the higher level service or mission interdependence. The research associated with this paper is the result of collaboration between Alcatel and Defence R&D Canada (DRDC) under the Defence Industrial Research (DIR) Program. Alcatel would like to express its thanks to DRDC, an agency within the Department of National Defence, for its support and efforts
