- Abstract
- Information security stands for protecting data and information systems from unauthorized access, use, modification or destruction, to ensure the CIA requirements, confidentiality, availability and integrity. Information and communication technology world is facing with security issues due to many challenges in network architecture and communication paradigm. The design of an ICT infrastructure cannot ignore the technological and social analysis, economic aspects, and now with the sustainability. This paper analyses the safety of these systems and propose a new paradigm to manage the security through a bio-inspired approach. This model evaluates the information assets of data, using three steps, Analysis, Assessment and Management, identifying the procedures, the weaknesses and the threats. We present a security management architecture and a bio-inspired model to evaluate the risk and the probability of a probable threat, based on the failure analysis. The goal is to realize the real state of security degree of the system, acting into it in order to optimize the global safety, picking out the business strategic decisions and the economic choices, finding the perfect condition that allows combining the risk of failure, the hazard function, the risk of economic losses and information losses affecting security requirements. This approach could be applied in the future to investment models on information and communication architectures.
