Strategy for IT Security in E-enterprise Environment

In an e-enterprise, the tight coupling between business process and the underlying information technology infrastructure amplifies the effect of hardware and software security failures. This accentuates the need for comprehensive security management of the infrastructure. This paper outlined the challenges posed by fulfilling myriad security requirements throughout the various stages of enterprise integration. To better categorize these requirements, the set of security domains that comprise the security profile of the e-enterprise have been specified. The set of security metrics used to quantify various aspects of security for an e-enterprise are also identified.
