Using a Large CYC-Based Ontology to Model and Predict Vulnerabilities at the Real-World Info-System Boundary

摘要

This work is part of the new move toward content, as opposed to the architecture or methodology or algorithms, as the critical factor in complex information systems. The Information Assurance vulnerabilities problem is the quintessential example of 'new and unexpected situations arising'. In this effort, we have added a tremendous amount of knowledge to the Cyc Knowledge Base that enables Cyc to reason about cyber and non-cyber vulnerabilities, electronic attacks, and the relation between vulnerabilities and potential attacks.
