Study on Cyber Attack Damage Assessment Framework

Abstract

Cyberspace has expanded as a result of the rapid spread of the Internet. This expansion has led to a change from conventional warfare to a form that includes cyber warfare. Cyber warfare, which occurs in cyberspace, consists of numerous cyberattacks using the vulnerabilities of cyber assets. Cyberattacks have increased with increases in the number of assets connected to the network and the information held by these assets; information can control the outcome of a war. Therefore, it is very important to assess the damage from cyberattacks between physical operations because such cyberattacks may be directly linked to the failure of an operation. This paper presents a cyber damage assessment framework for assessing the damage from cyberattacks between physical operations.
