Abstract

Today's complex communication systems are vital for many businesses. The high skill needed to master those systems has created an economy of services where many specialised organisations participate in producing the end service. Managing that orchestra to produce the right functionality is a challenge in itself, but managing the security of the process can be difficult. In this paper, we discuss of the big picture of managing the security of such complex systems, of the gaps between some point solutions, and of the research needs we have identified, focusing on technical aspects of security. We think that coherently measuring various technical aspects of security and sharing the information wisely is the key to a satisfying solution.
