The rising utilization of information and the frequent changes of systems necessitate continuous security engineering. Therefore, this work in progress presents the specification and prototypical implementation for automated security risk assessments. In addition, an outlook towards the associated validation, verification, evaluation, and hypothesis testing is given.enIndustry 4.0SecurityRisk AssessmentAutomationPrototypical ImplementationEvaluationconference paper
