Abstract

Security intrusion incidents have dramatically risen over the last decade. The organizations are becoming more and more aware of the importance of safeguarding their critical information. They need also to measure the degree of compliance of their security measures with the standards to enhance their degree of security, avoid the lack of accountability problem, and satisfy the regulatory obligations. While there are many tools and practices that can reduce security risks, there is a real need for security framework that specifies a security model and architecture in order to satisfy these security requirements. In this paper, we propose a preliminary specification of such a framework. A security model as well as an architecture able to perform automated and procedural security safeguards are proposed. In addition, an implementation guideline of the proposed architecture (AMANSystem) based on active network approach is presented.
