More Information
Summary:This invention concerns a method for the automatic analysis of security requirements in information technology systems. To this end, it proposes an automatic analysis process, implemented on a processor, and which allows: taking account of all security aspects, both organisational and technical, interacting with the users (security experts, decision makers, etc.) and synthesizing relevant information which can then be easily compared with the actual situation, systematically checking security information for completeness and consistency in order to detect potential weaknesses of the system (or future system). The method according to the invention enables the description and comparison of different structured views of the information. This information structuring principle meets requirements which are increasingly difficult to satisfy by human reasoning, because of the growing complexity of information technology systems and the vast increase in volumes of parameters and information to be considered.
