Speaker: Joel Wiese (Sun Technologies)

Abstract:
Threats of various sorts can reduce the functionality, reliability, performance, availability, security and integrity of IT systems. These characteristics are considered critical enough that they are typically instantiated formally into service level agreements (SLAs). As such, it is reasonable to state that there is a desire to reduce threats at least to a degree whereby one can satisfy the SLAs. This presentation discusses the use of adaptive security in solutions architecture. The speaker will prefix the presentation with a short orientation on the ISSA Journal, where his article on this topic was published in July 2008.
