SecurITree is Better

5: Communicate with Decision Makers

There exists a communication gap between technical experts and decision makers. The techies wish their managers would understand what they are trying to tell them. Decision makers long for information presented in a fashion that would allow them to make an informed decision. SecurITree's capabilties-based attack tree models bridge the gap.

Attack trees make it easy to show management which attacks are likely to be committed by different adversaries given the current system. This can be depicted in tabular or graphical format. Then, the effectiveness of countermeasures can be demonstrated graphically right before their eyes.

Courts are increasingly holding management responsible for their decisions. With SecurITree management is given the ability to manage.
