Assessing computer security vulnerability

ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, 1995
The lack of a standard gauge for quantifying computer system vulnerability is a hindrance to communicating information about vulnerabilities, and is thus a hindrance to reducing those vulnerabilities. The inability to address this issue through uniform semantics often leads to uncoordinated efforts at combating exposure to common avenues ...

Vulnerability Assessment in Contemporary Computing

2023
Vulnerability assessments are an important aspect of contemporary computing and cyber security. It is a process of distinguishing and assessing potential security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in a computing system or network. It involves using various tools and techniques to denote vulnerabilities and supply recommendations for mitigating them.

Computer vulnerabilities

Communications of the ACM, 1995
The online Risks Forum has long been a hotbed for discussions of the relative merits of openness relating to the dissemination of knowledge about security vulnerabilities. The debate has now been rekindled, and is summarized here.

Computer network vulnerabilities and monitoring

2015 9th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE), 2015
This paper presents an overview of the current computer network vulnerabilities and exploits, possibilities of monitoring the network traffic, by intercepting and duplicating it, ways of analyzing the monitored traffic in order to better understand and explain the detection of user's behavior.

Computer unreliability and social vulnerability

Futures, 1990
Abstract Many have argued that industrial societies are becoming more technology-dependent and are thus more vulnerable to technology failures. Despite the pervasiveness of computer technology, little is known about computer failures, except perhaps that they are all too common.

Societal vulnerability to computer system failures

Computers & Security, 1986
The world has become more dependent on computers which are active elements in bigger systems on which human lives depend - such as critical care units in hospitals, defense systems or air traffic control systems. Hence, the need to assure correct, reliable and safe operation has become more critical. With this need has come an increase in the attention

Computer abuse perpetrators and vulnerabilities of computer systems

Proceedings of the June 7-10, 1976, national computer conference and exposition on - AFIPS '76, 1976
Analysis of computer abuse experience is valuable in threat and risk studies performed to develop appropriate safeguards in computer use. A profile of computer abuse perpetrators has been developed on the basis of interviews with 17 offenders involved in a total of 15 cases.

Exposing vulnerabilities of untrusted computing platforms

2012 IEEE 30th International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD), 2012
This work seeks to expose the vulnerability of un-trusted computing platforms used in critical systems to hardware Trojans and combined hardware/software attacks. As part of our entry in the Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW) Embedded System Challenge hosted by NYU-Poly in 2011, we developed and presented 10 such processor-level hardware Trojans ...

Scheduler Vulnerabilities and Coordinated Attacks in Cloud Computing

2011 IEEE 10th International Symposium on Network Computing and Applications, 2011
In hardware virtualization a hypervisor provides multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical system, each executing a separate operating system instance. The hypervisor schedules execution of these VMs much as the scheduler in an operating system does, balancing factors such as fairness and I/O performance.
