Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for evaluating the effectiveness of network security tools for mitigating network security risks. According to one implementation, a method includes the step of analyzing a network to measure security parameters associated with the use of one or more network security tools that are configured for mitigating risk with respect to network compromise, data loss, lateral movement, and asset exposure. Based on the measured security parameters, the method further includes the step of quantifying the one or more network security tools to determine an effectiveness score defining an ability of the one or more network security tools, in combination, to counteract the network compromise, data loss, lateral movement, and asset exposure.
