Development of security policies for private networks

ABSTRACT

With the current worldwide emphasis on e-business, the development of sound network security policies for private networks connected to the Internet is becoming of increasing importance. This paper identifies a general network security profile upon which current and planned network security states can be mapped. The paper also provides a process for the development of current security states into target states, using the network security profile.
