摘要：A graph based on an attack can be used by a network administrator to measure an enterprise networks accurately. A network administrator can understand the most critical threats and choose the best countermeasures. Attack graph is an integral part of modeling the overview of network security. Network administrators use attack graphs to know how vulnerable their systems and to choose what security measures to maintain the system to deploy them. An attack graph is an abstraction that rep resents how an attacker may violate security policy by ex ploiting the interdependence between the discovered vulnerabilities. Analyses of attack graph that extract an information relevant to security from the attack graph are referred to as attack graph-based security metrics. Attack graphs are a valuable tool to network administrators, describing paths which can be used by an attacker to gain access to a targeted network. Network administrator can then focus their efforts on correcting the vulnerabilities and configuration errors that allow the attackers exploiting these vulnerabilities
