Planning-Based Visualization of Static Network Attack Analysis

About Heay Iron

The Heavy Iron project has two primary goals related to the representation and visualization of static attack analyses

An increased generative capability that extends current work on attack graphs to model attack context at a high level of granularity and provides interactive modification of network configuration to explore what-if reasoning

An increased visualization capability that exploits the expressive representation to render 3D visualizations of individual attacks across a range of user-defined topological and physical configurations
