The Use of the Evaluation Method of Software System Architecture to Assess the Impacts on Information Security in Information and Communication Technology Systems / WYKORZYSTANIE METODY OCENY ARCHITEKTURY SYSTEMU INFORMATYCZNEGO DO OCENY SKUTKÓW INCYDENTÓW NA BEZPIECZEŃSTWO INFORMACJI W SYSTEMACH TELEINFORMATYCZNYCH

Abstract

Abstract In a paper an application of the architecture evaluation method used for prediction the effects of incidents for information security which is inside of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system is described. As a base, the ATAM method is taken. During the analysis there is shown, that direct use of the ATAM technique is impossible, because it use only one set of data. Use just one view of ICT system is not adequate for measure the influence of incident on information security, which is inside ICT system. A tool which is useful for assessment effects of incidents, is an incidence matrix that presents logical connections between elements of ICT system. Knowledge of logical connections and structures of the messages being exchanged enables an assessment of operation the elements which receive modified messages.
