1. Assessing the Risk of an Information Infrastructure Through Security Dependencies.

Author

Lopez, Javier, Baiardi, F., Suin, S., Telmon, C., and Pioli, M.

Abstract

We outline a framework for the risk assessment of information infrastructures that generalizes the notion of dependency with respect to security attributes such as confidentiality, integrity or availability. Dependencies are used to model an infrastructure at distinct abstraction levels, to discover attack strategies and to define risk mitigation plans. A plan is formulated in terms of set of countermeasures because single countermeasures may be ineffective due to alternative threat attack strategies. We do not detail the assessment steps and focus on the integration of their results to define risk mitigation plans. Lastly, we discuss the development of programming tools to support the assessment. Keywords: risk assessment, mitigation plan, countermeasure, vulnerability, ranking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract The survey involved 50 centres comprising both hospital and community psychiatric care services throughout Italy. Overall, 2620 patients were recruited, and of those 2002 (76%) completed the Somatoform Disorders Schedule (SDS), a CIDI-derived interview. The NOS somatoform disorders (SDs) diagnosis appeared to be the most common (60%) (and they showed the highest number of co-morbid diagnoses), followed by pain disorders (8%). The prevalence of undifferentiated somatoform and hypochondriactal disorders was 1.6%: older age groups showed a tendency towards higher rates of the latter. In general, the study found that a significant percentage of patients with SDs are referred to psychiatric services, but mainly because of other psychopathological problems: in fact, somatic complaints are cross-sectionally present in different psychiatric nosological categories. This study also emphasizes some limitations of the current classification of SDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
