System Owners must evaluate the characteristics
of any entity before integrating it into the system environment. They focus on
several critical factors during this assessment process.
Performance metrics provide valuable insights
into the nature of the penetrated entity, allowing Systems Owners to better
understand their system's security landscape. Additionally, these metrics help
determine the team's defensive readiness.
Performance evaluations can reveal essential
information about the entity, including its properties, impact on internal
resources, integration with the system strategy, spatial allocation patterns,
duration of presence in the system, mission-critical tasks, consistency in
behavior, potential side effects on system resources, and the entity's
evolutionary path within the system.
Entities infiltrating the system can modify
resources, often leading to complex and unpredictable system behavior, even for
the System Owners. Observational studies suggest that tracking the evolutionary
path of system resources after infiltration is highly challenging.
