Chapter 3

1. The most useful fields will enable better insights into common vulnerabilities and exploitation patterns, as well as support reporting and communicating findings with other stakeholders. The following are some useful metadata fields for findings:

   1. Security Cause (CWE, CAPEC, and the MITRE ATT&CK tactic and technique)

   2. Category, as per STRIDE

   3. Security Severity (such as Critical, High, Medium, and Low)

   4. CVSS Scoring and CVSS Vector

   5. Asset Owner or Team

2. Qualitative measures are derived via a subjective insight as part of an expert opinion. They typically use an ordinal scoring system that cannot be leveraged easily using math. Quantitative measures are based on numbers, probabilities, and calculations that are done through mathematics. Cybersecurity today typically operates based upon qualitative measurements and ordinal scales, which is not ideal.
3. There are multiple tools and techniques that can be used to visualize attack graphs. For presentations and...
