Modeling and performance evaluation of computer systems security operation

TL;DR

This paper develops a queueing network model for computer system security operations, introducing a performance measure to evaluate and improve the security system’s effectiveness.

Contribution

It presents a novel queueing network model for security operations and a new performance measure for system evaluation.

Findings

The model accurately represents security operation processes.

The performance measure helps identify system bottlenecks.

Application to real systems demonstrates practical utility.

Abstract

A model of computer system security operation is developed based on the fork-join queueing network formalism. We introduce a security operation performance measure, and show how it may be used to performance evaluation of actual systems.
