On the Development of a Threat Driven Model for Campus Network

Technology as the foundation of almost every aspect of our lives has come to stay and moving with the trend is now the order of the day. Educational institutions are not left out in the advancement struggle. The use of these technologies in educational institutes comes with its attendant evil including but not limited to ransomware attack, denial of service attack, phishing attack, malware attack and the likes. This research therefore, aims to model the different attack types common to campus network. The traffic used for modelling the attack was collected from universities in the western part of Nigeria and the STRIDE and DREAD models were employed. The analysis showed that DoS (fail to auth to VPN to lock out user accounts) had the highest risk score (43) while DoS (complex search queries, CPU exhaustion) had the lowest score (26).
