Abstract: Foreseeing, mitigating and preventing cyber-attacks is more important than ever before. Advances in the field of probabilistic threat modelling can help organisations understand their own resilience profile against cyber-attacks. Previous research has proposed MAL, a meta language for capturing the attack logic of a considered domain and running attack simulations in a model that depicts the defended IT-infrastructure. While this modality is already somewhat established for proposing general threat mitigation actions, less is known about how to model containment strategies in the event that penetration already has occurred. The problem is a fundamental gap between predominant threat models in cyber-security research and containment in the incident response lifecycle. This paper presents a solution to the problem by summarizing a methodology for reasoning about containment strategies in MAL-based threat models.
