Abstract: A method for assessing effectiveness of one or more cybersecurity technologies in a computer network includes testing each of two or more component stages of an attack model at a first computer network element twice. A first one of the tests is conducted with a first one of the cybersecurity technologies operable to protect the first computer network element, and a second one of the tests is conducted with the first cybersecurity technology not operable to protect the first computer network element. For each one of the twice-tested component stages, comparing results from the first test and the second test, wherein the comparison yields or leads to information helpful in assessing effectiveness of the first cybersecurity technology on each respective one of the twice-tested component stages at the computer network element.
