Management of Security and Security for Management Systems

摘要

Political and military events, coupled with the accelerating frequency of cyber attacks on network/IT systems and technical revelations of management protocol insecurities, underscore the substantial risks associated with network, systems and applications management. Through management systems, rogue elements can perpetrate targeted as well as system-wide fraud, theft of services, and disruption of capabilities and management data. Worse yet, due to the extended, pervasive reach of management systems, rogues can get a stranglehold on the IT and networking resources of an enterprise, entire industry sectors, even national critical infrastructures or governments.
