Introduction

The purpose of this article is to gain a deeper understanding of the current state of security organizations today, the financial value of security operations, security metrics in the context of regulatory compliance or conformance to other control structures, the process of security measurement, and the business value of security. This study is grounded in the considerable body of scholarship examining today's information security threats, the security architecture of embedded systems, the process of building secured systems, the essentials of security responsibilities, and the training function within the security organization.

The Process of Security Measurement

Sennewald writes that security management is a professional area within the management framework of a company or institution: security is a critical part of most organizations with security professionals reporting directly to senior management. The security organization has moved up in the organizational pyramid to report directly to senior management. Within the company, or corporate, organizational structure, security has shown a sharp vertical movement. Sennewald points out that there is a myriad of petty forms of corporate culture that have no impact on security's responsibilities. Security can be identified as a protective service of prevention and control. “The security management that understands the reasonableness and logic of providing the broadest possible range of special services moves the security function more closely to the mainstream of the business and makes a more significant contribution to the overall success of the company.” (Sennewald, 2011)

Based on the above reasoning, it is not difficult to show that security must assume the role of trainer/educator, and is primarily a protective service of prevention. Sennewald observes that security management relies on the security employee's sense of responsibility. The security industry must set higher standards than state licensing bodies (Sennewald, 2011). “Many factors have an impact on the personnel to be used in the security function. The most important factor is the character and nature of the function. What could very well be an advantage in one security operation might be a distinct disadvantage in another” (Kamil & Gavin, 2011). Kamil and Lowe claim that numerous security architectures make use of layering of protocols. The reliable transport protocol provides a secure channel to the application layer. Different secure transport protocols and the application protocols are independent (Kamil & Gavin, 2011).

The Growing Recognition of Security's Importance

Fröschle and Sommer use the term security API system to refer to the network of security modules under investigation. The flexible predicate symbols describe the states of the security API system. Keys that are generated with extractable = false is secure (Fröschle & Nils, 2011). Hurlin and Kirchner show how to synthesize security policies that enforce given invariants, and define secured systems and security policies using standard first-order logic, showing how to prove invariants of secured systems inductively (Hurlin & Hélène, 2011). Secured systems support reasoning about temporal formulae, in invariants. “In order to model security policies applied to a system, we choose to model the part of information in the system relevant to security as ...
