Security risk analysis - 3SE
Reviewedhttps://www.3se.info/3se-onto/terms/security-risk-analysis-3se-069c1ab34bae7b50
Risk analysis which is relevant for security engineering.
It includes the following steps:
(1) Identify the assets.
(2) For each asset, evaluate its severity level.
(3) Identify the threatening situations and the related attacks.
(4) For each threatening situation, determine the modus operandi, the threat type, the threat group, the impacted asset and the related system activities.
(5) For each threatening situation, evaluate the likelihood of its occurrence.
(6) For each threatening situation, evaluate the targeted security risk level based on its asset severity and the likelihood of its occurrence.
(7) For each threatening situation, decide the security risk treatment: avoid, reduce, retain or share.
(8) For each threatening situation, if the security risk must be reduced, then identify the security system functional requirements and/or the security system non-functional requirements and/or the security system constraints.
(9) For each threatening situation, evaluate the security residual risk level after treatment.
(10) For each threatening situation, determine if the security risk treatment leads to a hazardous situation in the same context.
