Abstract

Organizations increasingly demand faster and flexible operations promoted by information and communication technologies, particularly on the Internet and the newer technologies, such as the internet-enabled services, mobile and wireless devices and networks, with a complete disregard of their security vulnerabilities and underestimating risks that this new technologies impose. A proper information security risk management is difficult and becomes crucial to ensure the daily operational activities of organizations as well as to promote competition and to create new business opportunities. Moreover there is a lack of formal and flexible models to support a proper information security risk management process. This paper presents an ontology developed in the security domain aimed to support organizations to deal with huge security information issues and therefore implement a proper management to facilitate the decision-making regarding their security needs.
