Titel
Adaptive support for IT security tasks
Abstract
Living in a networked world has not only positive effects like "unrestricted" access to many kind of services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also holds many risks like viruses, intrusive attacks, violation of privacy, and the whole set of well know risks combined with the use of software. Organizations providing eCommerce and especially, eGovernment services are in the focus of internet-criminals. Getting illegal access on or even control of a server of such an organization leads to significant loss of trustworthiness from a customer point of view. The criminal themselves will have both, doubtful glory in their community and "financial success" if they achieve to get credit-card numbers or similar. The author addresses this very urgent IT-security topic presenting a generic approach that can also be adopted to eCommerce solutions.
