Abstract

This paper deals with a new model of an information system. The model is strongly oriented to security problems and in particular it takes in account all the three parameters of availability, integrity and secrecy as stated in [4]. To represent the system, the model defines entities for the system objects, actions for the interactions between them and activities for the system's functionalities.

Based on this model a tool has been created to implement it. Using this tool a system administrator can describe the system, discover security problems, make queries and perform non-intrusive security checks. This tool and the model which it is based on respond to the need for an advanced security management in an information system both of small and of large dimensions. This work was born to meet the network and security administrators needs collected in a preliminary interviewing phase.
