Security Philosophy


Security Philosophy

The issue of IT security demands a holistic perspective. The following subareas can be identified:

  • Organisational issues: documentation (inventory, policies), employees and processes
  • Technical areas: physical security; network, system and application security

 

IT Security as a Process

It is important to approach IT security as a process that requires continuous assessment of security needs, risks/threats and implemented countermeasures. This process in turn consists of the following recurring activities:

  • Review
  • Concept design
  • Integration
  • Operation

 

Security needs are determined using the following parameters 

  • Integrity
  • Reliability
  • Availability
  • Preservation of evidence

for the data, systems, and applications to be protected.

 

 

Security Measures

Security measures can be arranged within the security architecture (image):

  • Reaction: incident management, preservation of evidence
  • Detection: monitoring, log file analysis, N-IDS
  • Protection: firewall, VPN

 

IT Security Audit

Regular reviews in the form of independent IT security audits are a guarantee for solid security architecture.
