ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a network hardening mechanism. The mechanism: generates a dependency graph from a multitude of exploits; constructs a goal conditions expression which may then be used to determine set(s) of safe network configurations. A subset of these safe network configuration sets may then be selected for implementation using hardening costs as a criterion.
