Proposed Conceptual Tools for Managing Cost and Complexity When Securing Networks
- Abstract
- Currently a wide selection of network security and intrusion handling methodologies are available and some consistent principles are emerging. Because of the cost and increasing complexity of providing network security, I believe a fruitful and necessary next step is development of a set of conceptual tools to help decide when and how best to invoke these step-by-step measures. This paper will describe the cost and complexity issues facing security professionals, outline the desired outcome in facing these issues, and finally will suggest initial proposals for reaching those goals.
