Abstract

A system and a method to map attack paths in a visualization interface may include storing in a memory asset inventory indicating application assets, attack vector parameters configured to indicate vulnerabilities of one or more of the application assets, and asset mapping information. A processor may determine multiple vulnerable assets in the application assets based at least in part upon the attack vector parameters. Further, the processor may obtain security parameters from a security framework indicating one or more attack techniques, associate each of the vulnerable assets to one or more of the security parameters, and generate a visual interface showing the vulnerable assets and the security parameters. The processor may determine an attack path connecting the vulnerable assets based at least in part upon the asset mapping information, and map the attack path to the application layers and the security parameters in the visual interface.
