Abstract

Nowadays most of enterprises must consider information security aspects as of the highest concern. It is caused not only by growing hacker’s activity but also because of increasing legal requirements and compliance issues. One of required procedures to manage information security is regular performing of information security risk assessment. This article describes an approach for designing and managing of an enterprise IT landscapes which makes possible to perform quantitative information security risk assessment using already established methodologies which were previously inapplicable by some reasons. Moreover, application of the proposed framework allows transformation of any IT landscape to such state. Other relevant key features of the proposed approach are unification and reduction of maintenance cost.
