A RECONFIGURABLE SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

This paper proposes an Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is essentially a service-oriented mechanism. The system supports distributed process changes in run-time and as needed. In addition, this study uses a Service-Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) development methodology for designing and building a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ISMS. These features represent significant improvements upon existing systems because, they allow for a dramatic increase in the ease and efficiency with which system modification can occur. They also allow for the reuse of existing services and their recombination, either with other existing services, or with new software, in order to create new processes. The features afforded by this system hold tremendous potential for use within a range of industries and organizations, especially those that seek to provide on-line services to their customers or product users.
