Abstract
The security of cyberspace can be ensured by a broad cooperation of different organizations, actors. This cooperation cannot be achieved without interoperable information exchange between cybersecurity actors, organisations, and their IT systems. Interoperable information exchange can be realized using own resources, or using services provided by third parties. IT interoperability service can be defined as a service by which a service provider supports interoperable data exchange between IT systems of service consumers and cooperating actors. This publication provides different categorizations of interoperability services, discusses their benefits, and the necessary user tasks. It determines the types of interoperability service providers and their necessary capabilities. Finally, it defines the special requirements of cybersecurity information exchange and presents the main types of required services.
Highlights
Today’s social, economic and everyday activities are increasingly dependent on the services provided by globally interconnected, decentralized IT systems and networks that make up the cyberspace
The term interoperability service in the literature is described in several different forms, mostly without precise definition, most of which denote a component of a software architecture, a software service type that is a functionality provided by a software component to another software component through a defined interface
The starting point for this publication is that the services provided by globally interconnected, decentralized IT systems and networks, the cyberspace, play a prominent role in our world. The dependence on these services requires the high-level security of cyberspace that can be ensured by a broad cooperation of different organizations, actors
Summary
Today’s social, economic and everyday activities are increasingly dependent on the services provided by globally interconnected, decentralized IT systems and networks that make up the cyberspace This dependency means increasing vulnerability and risks. Information exchange between different actors may have and in practice almost always has interoperability problems that require appropriate solutions This is the case for the various actors of cybersecurity scene, which include event management centres, operations centres, organisations providing cybersecurity information and IT developers, manufacturers. The purpose of this research paper is to outline the basics and the framework of using IT interoperability services to ensure and maintain interoperability during exchange of information between cybersecurity organisations.
