Abstract

Network Security Situation Awareness (NSSA) can provide holistic status to administrator, and most related works rely on real time packet inspection technique to detect the security attacks which are happening and may already have caused some damage. In this paper, we propose the Risk Assessment NSSA model which collects the vulnerabilities information and uses corresponding risk level to qualitatively represent the security situation. This model is easy to apply and conveniently helps the administrator to monitor the whole network and be alerted to possible threat in future.
