Selection of an Alternative Method for Establishing Security Levels
Kiril Stoichev · Journal of Applied Security Research · 2015
On July 14, 2014 in Journal of Applied Security Research an article was published named “Security Levels of Critical Infrastructure.” It presented a vision for the creation of a unified methodology for integrating existing standardization, normative, and institutional tools to build higher levels of security for critical infrastructures. But this is only the frame to be filled with content. This content, however, may be the result of different approaches to formulate the packages of requirements for the separate elements of an integrated security system for the organizations, detailed in the generally accepted levels of security and protection. The focus of this publication is to show the positive and negative effects of the choice of the alternative to create a single document, with the standardization requirements for building a comprehensive, unified system for security and protection of sites of the critical infrastructure based on a clearly defined and documentary secured matrix of ascending levels of security for the organizations.
