Abstract:
This paper demonstrates the possible utilization of multi-criteria decision making methods as a different approach to a severity assessment of security incidents. This may support incident management and help with faster decisions. The demonstrated example is based on the Fuller’s method. This method helps with determination of criteria weights that are utilized for an overall evaluation and prioritization of security incidents. The main objective was to propose a very simple and fast method that will be suitable for small and medium companies.
