Title: Automation Possibilities in Information Security Management
Abstract: Information security management, as defined in ISO 27001, deals with establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving an information security management system. This paper provides an analysis about the automation possibilities in information security management. The analysis takes into account the potential of using (i) security ontologies in risk management, (ii) hard- and software systems for the automatic operation of certain security controls, and (iii) the Security Control Automation Protocol (SCAP) for automatically checking compliance and security configurations. The analysis results support organizations and security managers at identifying systems they can use to achieve greater efficiency in the information security management process.
