2021: Attacker-Capabilities-Proposal
IT security solutions often have the problem that neither the level of protection (ACTUAL) nor the threat level can be measured and thus quantified.
For DDoS attacks and defences RedButton in 2015, zeroBS proposed a scoring method (DRS - DDoS Resiliency Score), in the further development of which zeroBS has been significantly involved since 2016 and the German version of which we present here.
DRS / About
The DDoS Resiliency Score is a standard for quantitatively and objectively assessing your own level of protection and comparing it with the current and changing threat situation.
With the help of the DRS, organisations can
- ... evaluate the preparedness against DDoS attacks because: the DRS provides a specific defined list of attack types that an organisation can resist before a failure occurs.
- ... make better technology decisions, as the DRS allows technical teams to compare the effectiveness of different DDoS technologies as well as scoring solution options.
- ... facilitate communication between management and technical teams: a score of 4.7, for example, can communicate to management that damage limitation skills have improved since the previous 3.5. At the same time, the DRS compiles a list of specific attack vectors that are blocked or not blocked (technical teams are able to analyse this list).
In addition to the rather rigid scoring, we have suggested an update to the DRS that is based on the attacker's skills and thus allows for more dynamics, as transitions are also fluid here.
