Excerpt
Introduction: In recent years, there has been a shift in perspective of information systems security (INFOSEC) from viewing it as a number of independent, loosely coupled disciplines to a more cohesive, interdependent collection of security solutions. The current environment of declining resources and the rapid advances in technology have demanded changes in assessing the security posture of systems and implementing an INFOSEC systems engineering process. These changes are necessary to reduce fragmentation and to ensure and maintain consistency and compatibility among all aspects of the security of a system. In addition, the dynamic threat environment necessitates a more efficient, integrated view of INFOSEC disciplines.
