Abstract :
Computer system security evaluation by using mean time-to-compromise criteria is presented in this paper. The outcome of the attack highly depends on the attacker skill level. The attacker skill level distribution must be estimated, normal skill level distribution in the skill group is suggested in the model. The article concludes with simulation results and evaluation of the chosen attacker skill level distribution effect.
