Using CAPEC for Risk-Based Security Testing

Abstract

We present a method for risk-based security testing that takes a set of CAPEC attack patterns as input and produces a risk model which can be used for security test identification and prioritization. Since parts of the method can be automated, we believe that the method will speed up the process of constructing a risk model significantly. We also argue that the constructed risk model is suitable for security test identification and prioritization.
