Abstract

The protection of assets, including IT resources, intellectual property and business processes, against security attacks has become a challenging task for organizations. From an economic perspective, firms need to minimize the probability of a successful security incident or attack while staying within the boundaries of their information security budget in order to optimize their investment strategy. In this paper, an optimization model to support information security investment decision-making in organizations is proposed considering the two conflicting objectives (simultaneously minimizing the costs of countermeasures while maximizing the security level). Decision models that support the firms' decisions considering the trade-off between the security level and the investment allocation are beneficial for organizations to facilitate and justify security investment choices.
一个支持信息安全投资决策的多目标优化模型
保护资产(包括IT资源、知识产权和业务流程)免受安全攻击已成为组织的一项具有挑战性的任务。从经济角度来看,企业需要最小化成功的安全事件或攻击的概率,同时保持在其信息安全预算的范围内,以优化其投资策略。本文提出了一个支持组织信息安全投资决策的优化模型,该模型考虑了两个相互冲突的目标(同时最小化对策成本和最大化安全级别)。支持公司考虑安全水平和投资分配之间权衡的决策模型有利于组织促进和证明安全投资选择。
