Abstract
The management of information security becomes easier if suitable
metrics can be developed to offer evidence of the security level or
performance of a system (e.g. a product or an organization). Results from
measurements can be used as a basis for decisions in order to ensure the
desired security level or performance. The measurement object of security
metrics can be a technical system, an organization or a business process – or
all of them at the same time. Systematic security metrics provide means for
managing information security comprehensively.
