Abstract
To achieve their full potential, networks must be secure as well as functional.
With this in mind, the author identifies metrics designed to mitigate
vulnerabilities to cyberattacks in networks that are key to the critical
infrastructure of the US. He discusses both growth metrics — based on
data obtained from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology
and Department of Homeland Security vulnerability database — and metrics
designed to mitigate the risk of security vulnerabilities in networks. If used
together, these two types of metrics can help make networks more secure.
