Risk Assessment Model Based on Mobile Agent

With the rapid development of Internet and communication technology, network information security has become the focus of people’s attention. Generally speaking, attackers and virus intrude into the target system by utilizing security vulnerabilities. In this paper, combined Mobile Agent theory with risk assessment technology, a kind of risk assessment model based on Mobile Agent has been brought forward. In order to get the target system’s vulnerabilities, Mobile Agent is used to scan the system according to user’s particular setting of assessment rules. And then the risk grade of target system is given out for providing user particular assessment result and security advice. On the base of model design, an experiment of Mobile Agent risk assessment model is designed. In the process of experiment, the target system is scanned according to facility condition, and the function of Mobile Agent risk assessment model is primarily implemented.
