Towards a Temporal Response Taxonomy

摘要

Response systems play a growing role in modern security architectures. In order to select the most effective countermeasure, they adopt a dynamic and situation-aware approach. However, today's response systems are limited to the selection procedure. In other words, the follow-up and the deactivation phases are still performed manually. Consequently, existing response taxonomies failed to provide an appropriate set of requirements that covers the deactivation feature. In this paper, we tackle this issue by proposing a formal temporal taxonomy for response measures. Furthermore, we present an application of our work in the context of simultaneous attacks. This work provides a first step towards the deactivation and the transactional management of response measures.
