Abstract

An example method includes receiving a network graph and selecting a first network node from the set of network nodes. The example method further includes computing a difficulty score based on the difficulty for an attacker to compromise a second network node in an instance in which the attacker compromises the first network node and computing a cumulative difficulty score for the attacker to compromise the second network node based on a set of difficulty scores for the first network node and each other network node from the set of network nodes. The example method further includes adding the second network node to a set of blast radius nodes and determining a total vulnerability score for the first network node based on the set of blast radius nodes.
