I would like to draw your attention to the session
"Management of Assurance & Security Metrics in Service Orchestration"
that is organized by MASTER within the WISTP´09 workshop
(Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices, Brussels, Belgium, September 1-4, 2009).
The session will be structured around the two main topics,
with an introduction of the work of MASTER in the field,
and invited talks, to motivate discussion from the audience,
with the goal of validating and enriching the work of MASTER in these topics.
There will be two sessions in series:
Information Assurance and Trust Management
* Proposals from MASTER on models, technology,
and tools to define policies,
goals and performance indicators from a security,
trust, and assurance perspective
* Discussion of MASTER's proposals with other initiatives and the wider audience
Security measurements
* Proposal on security and assurance metrics from MASTER: Trustworthiness of control processes and effectiveness of control processes
* Validation of the proposal from MASTER and exchange with other initiatives
The workshop will take place on September 3, 2009.
