Network security risk assessment based on fuzzy logic approach / Nurulhidayah Abdul Latif
The purposes of the study were to design a model of network security risk assessment and to assess the result from the risk assessment conducted. The threats created were dealing with the computer network which is spreading widely that might cause risk impact to the organization. Due to this conditi...
