The Unified Approach For Organizational Network Vulnerability Assessment
This addresses the need for more numerous vulnerability assessments in organizations due to evolving IT infrastructure, but it appears incremental as it adapts an existing software development process to network security.
The paper tackles the challenge of frequent network infrastructure changes and increasing vulnerabilities by proposing a Unified Network Vulnerability Assessment (NVA) approach derived from the Unified Software Development Process, which is an iterative and incremental framework.
The present business network infrastructure is quickly varying with latest servers, services, connections, and ports added often, at times day by day, and with a uncontrollably inflow of laptops, storage media and wireless networks. With the increasing amount of vulnerabilities and exploits coupled with the recurrent evolution of IT infrastructure, organizations at present require more numerous vulnerability assessments. In this paper new approach the Unified process for Network vulnerability Assessments hereafter called as a unified NVA is proposed for network vulnerability assessment derived from Unified Software Development Process or Unified Process, it is a popular iterative and incremental software development process framework.
