Attack Tree Designer User Manual

Introduction

Attack Tree Designer is an Open Source modelling tool conceived for designing attack trees. "Attack Trees" are models designed for dissecting the anatomy of the threats that can occur on IT Systems or Cyber-Physical Systems. Attack Tree Designer allows modelers and security analysts to design hierarchical diagrams that show how an asset, or a target, might be attacked which illustrates the security challenges that exist in the ecosystem that it operates in.
