Analysis Context Establishment and Asset Identification

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity helps you to model the system architecture of the target of evaluation (TOE), along with the functions and processes that represent activities and actions.

You can then allocate resources, identify assets and assign security attributes to them.

Damage Scenario Identification

By deriving them based on the identified losses of cybersecurity properties.

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity allows furthermore for the impact rating based on these damage scenarios according to ISO 21434.

Threat Identification

By automatically collecting threat data and mapping them to fully customizable categories, such as STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information disclosure, Denial of service and Elevation of privilege),

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity identifies potential threats and estimates their security implications.

Attack Trees and Attack Collections

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity can perform attack tree layout automatically, model events in terms of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities, and compile attack trees into attack collections. Ansys medini analyze can compute attack paths based on the attack trees.

Vulnerability Analysis

In a deductive manner, the vulnerability analysis allows you to analyze the vulnerabilities attributed to the modelling artifacts of a system design, like components or interfaces. Subsequently, it can systematically identify and relate attacks that exploit those vulnerabilities and can associate threats that are potentially caused by the exploited vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, measures can be described to reduce the feasibility of the identified attacks.

Threat Assessment and Treatment

Once all attack trees have been collected, Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity can help you assess threats and strategies to mitigate risks.

You can reduce the risks by estimating the feasibility and impact of each threat and defining treatment strategies beforehand.

Requirement Analysis and Management

Use Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity to derive and manage cybersecurity goals and requirements. Allocate, manage and trace these requirements to the system’s architecture, hardware, software and function models.

Sync them with other requirement management platforms, if required.

Rich Traceability

Perform traces in a wide variety of ways, including trace-matrix and quick-trace modes.

Navigate these traces to discover related elements in other models and visualize traces for impact analysis.

Teamwork and Integrated Task Management

To be effective, the results of your threat analyses must be available to personnel in all disciplines in your organization.

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity merges projects for team collaboration, documents all decisions, and helps you manage the whole project through its scheduling function.

Reporting and Customization

Ansys medini analyze for Cybersecurity makes it easy for you to communicate the results of your threat analyses by instantly creating reports in any format, to summarize TOE, TARA, attack trees and security requirements.

Combined Safety and Security Analysis

To achieve a safe and secure system design interferences between these two fields need to be emphasized and analyzed in respect to their impact on each other.

Ansys medini analyze allows you to perform functional safety analysis according to ISO26262 and cybersecurity analysis all together in one project. This enables the engineer to conduct and document an impact analysis on the decisions that were taken in the respective fields.
