Creating a Go module for information security risk assessment would involve several steps, including identifying the specific risks and vulnerabilities to be assessed, determining the appropriate methods and metrics for assessing those risks, and then implementing those methods and metrics in Go code. Here's an example of how one might structure a Go module for performing a simple information security risk assessment:
Define structs for representing the assets, threats, and vulnerabilities to be assessed. Copy code type Asset struct { Name string Description string Value int
}
type Threat struct { Name string Description string Probability float64 Impact int
}
type Vulnerability struct { Name string Description string CVSS float64
} Create a function that calculates the risk score for a given asset, threat, and vulnerability. Copy code func CalculateRiskScore(asset Asset, threat Threat, vulnerability Vulnerability) float64 { return vulnerability.CVSS * threat.Probability * float64(asset.Value) * float64(threat.Impact)
}
Create a function that assesses the risk score for a given asset and threat
and returns the vulnerability that has the greatest risk score.
Copy code
func AssessRisk(asset Asset, threat Threat, vulnerabilities []Vulnerability)
Vulnerability {
var highestRiskScore float64
var highestRiskVulnerability Vulnerability
for _, vuln := range vulnerabilities {
riskScore := CalculateRiskScore(asset, threat, vuln)
if riskScore > highestRiskScore {
highestRiskScore = riskScore
highestRiskVulnerability
= vuln
}
}
return highestRiskVulnerability
}
