Furthermore, these techniques assume that the interconnection among the assets is static. However, in the Cloud, resources can instantiate or migrate across physical hosts at run-time, thus making the Cloud a dynamic environment. Additionally, the number of attacks targeting multiple assets/layers emphasizes the need for threat analysis approaches developed for Cloud environments. Therefore, this proposal presents a threat analysis approach that addresses multi-layer attacks. The proposed approach facilitates threat analysis by developing a technology-agnostic information flow model. It contributes to exploring a threat’s propagation across the operational stack of the Cloud and, consequently, assessing the security of the Cloud holistically.", doi = "10.1145/3548606.3563515", file = ":CCS2022-Cloud.pdf:PDF", isbn = "9781450394505", numpages = "3" }
