Abstract
This presentation outlines a method to quantify cyber threats associated with micro-electronics. The method utilizes MBSE as a tool to implement a cyber-threat assessment model. The model integrates a mathematical quantification of these threats to produce a visualization of the results in a 5x5 risk matrix. This tool will help users identify unique threat vectors and analyze counter-measure strategies to mitigate the effects on system performance, safety, and security.
