Holonic risk management framework

The purpose of this work is to develop an adaptive risk management framework capable of preventing, identifying and responding in critical time to threats. Our focus is on protecting critical infrastructure (e.g. public utilities) which depends vitally on network and information security. As a solution we propose a holonic cybersecurity system that unfolds into an emergency response management infrastructure capable of reacting in due time to unknown and new kinds of attacks/threats. The system can adapt to its changing environment through its self-organizing organic capability. Mimicking the way immunity works in biological organisms the system can dynamically adapt to embrace new risk situations and can dynamically create and learn new risk models as it encounters new risk situations.
