Towards Effective Security Policy Management for Heterogeneous Network Environments

Abstract

In this paper, we overview a system-driven policy framework called Chameleos-x and discuss how a practical, system-driven approach could be used to address the problem of enforcing security policies consistently in a changing, diversity-rich environment. The Chameleos-x framework is specially designed to facilitate the management of consistent security policies in heterogeneous environments. We also describe our experimentation of Chameleos-x to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
