Abstract

Cyber-Security in the Internet of Things (IoT) is a major concern for information exploitation which hinder the growth of information system. To address security levels and issues, security risk assessment is considered an effective tool for system security, products, process, and readiness. Effective system vulnerabilities guidance is involved in the prioritization of security risk assessment. At present, the differential equation provides a significant tool for risk assessment. However, for second-order derivatives, the error rate is higher which impacts on overall risk assessment model. To overcome those limitations, this paper presented Decision Support Light Weight Risk Assessment Model (DSLiRAM). The proposed DSLiRAM is the domain-specific framework for security assessment. The proposed DSLiRAM is adopted in four stages for the specification of practices applied for cybersecurity and organizational characteristics. The proposed DSLiRAM includes a fuzzy differential equation with a second-order derivative. To minimize error rate Taylor series expansion is integrated with Fredholm for risk assessment. The proposed DSLiRAM is examined in three scenarios, RT server, BPCS, and HMI. Analysis of results stated that the proposed DSLiRAM significantly predicts risk and prevents the attack.
