Abstract :
This paper describes multiple system security engineering techniques for assessing system security vulnerabilities and discusses the application of these techniques at different system maturity points. The proposed vulnerability assessment approach allows a systems engineer to identify and assess vulnerabilities early in the life cycle and to continually increase the fidelity of the vulnerability identification and assessment as the system matures.
