Description

Society is increasingly dependent on large-scale, networked information systems of remarkable
scope and complexity. This dependency magnifies the far-reaching consequences of
system damage from attacks and intrusions. Yet no amount of security can guarantee that
systems will not be penetrated. Incorporating survivability capabilities into an organization’s
systems can mitigate the risks. Survivability is the capability of a system to fulfill its mission
in a timely manner despite intrusions, failures, or accidents. The three tenets of survivability
are (1) resistance to intrusions, (2) recognition of intrusion effects, and (3) recovery of services
despite successful intrusions. The survivability of existing or planned systems can be
analyzed at the level of system architectures or requirements. This report describes the Survivable
Network Analysis (SNA) method developed at the SEI’s CERT Coordination Center.
The four-step SNA method guides stakeholders through an analysis process intended to
improve system survivability when a system is threatened. The method focuses on preservation
of essential system services that support the organizational mission. SNA findings are
summarized in a Survivability Map that enumerates current and recommended architectural
strategies. SNA has been successfully applied to commercial and governmental systems, and
continues to evolve toward increasing rigor in its application.
