Abstract: A system determines an on/off feature and vulnerability and dependency nodes in a graph which represents a system of components. The feature enables vulnerability nodes based on a probability that a vulnerability will be exploited, and a vulnerability degrades a utility of one or more components based on an exposure factor. The system calculates, for a path in the graph to a component, a loss of utility of a given dimension of multiple dimensions based on a combiner operator and a logic operator. The combiner operator takes inputs which represent a weighted probability that the given dimension is degraded, and the logic operator defines the inputs based on a probability and exposure factor. The system aggregates calculated losses of utility across the multiple dimensions for the system components. The system selects a combination of possible on/off feature values which results in a lowest loss of utility for the components.
