3.1 Interactions in adaptive security management systems

We distinguish between the security engines having to address various levels of ICT-system specific security, security engines working together to correlate events, security management services mastering various security domains and security service provision applications providing various security services. The engines deal with specific problems identified through risk assessment, each for a specific field of security and together for the various assets of the organization, the management services master the domains identified in the policy. The provision services are needed to enable protection.
