Abstract:
Implementations are directed to an agile security platform for enterprise-wide cyber-security and performing actions of receiving, from an agile security platform, analytical attack graph (AAG) data representative of one or more AAGs, each AAG representing one or more lateral paths within an enterprise network for reaching a target asset from one or more assets within the enterprise network, determining, for each instance of a plurality of instances of the AAG, a graph value representing a measure of hackability of the enterprise network at respective times, providing a profile of the enterprise network based on a set of graph values determined for instances of the AAG, the profile representing changes in graph values over time, determining an effectiveness of one or more security controls based on the profile, and selectively executing one or more remedial actions in response to the effectiveness.
