Sun BluePrint: Designing an Adaptive Security Architecture

Wednesday Dec 03, 2008

Hot off the press, check out the new Sun BluePrints article titled Designing an Adaptive Security Architecture by Joel Weise. 

Abstract

Security threats can reduce the functionality, performance, availability, and integrity of IT systems. These systemic qualities are critical — so much so that they are typically instantiated formally into Service Level Agreements (SLAs). In IT environments, the desire is to reduce potential security threats at least to the degree by which SLAs can be satisfied. This article discusses the principles and characteristics of a new architectural approach — adaptive security — which is based in part on the concepts and principles of complex adaptive systems.
