This project discusses the current weaknesses in modern tools used in vulnerability assessments for industrial control systems. Oftentimes, IT and OT are not considered as a unit which leads to many possible threats being overlooked, which can cause issues ranging from serious financial loss to humanitarian costs.

This project proposes a new method of evaluating ICS that will hopefully be more accurate and manageable for sites, which combines the MITRE ATT&CK framework designed for ICS, and a Bayesian Network.

This approach will ideally combine the legibility of a graph and the information in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and allow the Bayesian Network to add the dynamism that the previous two lack, and return a score for the vulnerability of each component as well as a score for the likelihood of an attack.
