Systematic approaches to measure security and to build security in are thus needed in order to build secure software systems and to offer security evidence for software architects, decision makers and end-users. Security measuring from software architectures is required to produce sufficient evidence of security level as early as in the design phase. Consequently, design-time security measuring supports “security by design” approach. In addition, software architectures have to support runtime security measuring to obtain up-to-date security information from online software systems. Runtime security measuring is exploited in situation-awareness and self-adaptive security, such as security of IoT in eHealth. Security metrics for adaptation should also support evaluation and validation of runtime security adaptation. The area of security metrics and security assurance metrics research is evolving, but still lacks widely accepted definitions of metrics and applicable measuring techniques for design-time and runtime security monitoring.

TOPICS
Security-related incidents are increasing, and at the same time our society is increasingly relying on cyber-physical systems. Systematic approaches to monitor and measure security are needed to build secure systems, including IoT and cloud services, and to offer security evidence for system designers and users. Security analysis and measuring on software architecture level produces evidence of security in the design phase, to deal with requirement trade-offs. Architecture-level security analysis supports "security by design". On the other hand, to understand overall security status and get a holistic view, architecture-level security analysis has to be extended to the operational system domain, and needs to include also the network level security monitoring and analysis. Thus, techniques to understand and scale the needs in both measurement and analytics are needed. Together these are able to provide the basis for security situational awareness in the modern complex software infrastructure. Security metrics may also support security adaptation and architecture-based evolution.

  • Security, trust and privacy metrics
