Overview

However, in spite of its fundamental role, the information and communication security domain still lacks the sound and comprehensive tools for assessment of network system security state.
The goal of this research project is the design and development of a network simulation tool that allows comprehensive analysis of network security state through the attack impact modeling and assessment of the potential network changes introduced by the administrator.

Status

This project is currently under commercial implementation.
