ABSTRACT
The benchmark, called the Customer Behavior Model Graph, relies on the stressing tool that is composed of a script recorder and a load generator. Stuckman and Purtilo crafted a modular benchmark on a testbed that automated the evaluation of an intrusion prevention system. This benchmark was a collection of modules and each module had an intentionally vulnerable application installed in an environment that would allow the application to run and simulate an attack. A Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach was proposed in and allowed for the generation of repetitive and complicated infrastructure code by the benchmark tool. The MDA approach included a core benchmark application, a load testing suite and performance monitoring tools for the user. This process allows individuals to determine the number and types of attacks the benchmark can detect. The detection of data security breaches in particular may rely on detecting certain types of application-layer attacks.
