Abstract

There are number of systems, such as transport and logistic, power and telecommunication, hydropower and nuclear power stations; that are critical systems for the functioning of day-to-day life of the society in Finland. When assessing possible risks, it is only seldom taken into account that power, hydropower and nuclear power plants are critically dependent on the reliability and security of information systems. Information security is often enhanced by purchasing and extending technical solutions without considering any systematic planning and knowledge of how to protect the different segments of the system. In this case study, the risk is not only to investing of the information security resources to the wrong targets but also to take more risks. As the unplanned integration of systems and the related information security components may even create new security risks. As a result, systems that are critical for society may not work as they should. The Rescuing of Intelligence and Electronic Security Core Applications (RIESCA) project is targeted to do contributive and constructive solutions to this problem. The research object is produce information security and continuity management methods that can be used to ensure the proper functioning of critical systems under varying circumstances. Furthermore, it also leads to the development of an integrative action and environment for critical systems development, management and evaluation. This study: (1) describes the RIESCA project; (2) proposes enhanced data mining collection and analysis architecture model for critical systems evaluation; (3) includes Business Continuing Management (BCM) method creation perspective to context of critical systems and (4) describes the RIESCA action and process implementation model.
