Abstract
Self-adaptive security is needed due to vast amount of
changes in an execution environment and threat landscape,
which all cannot be anticipated at software design-time.
Self-adaptive security requires means for monitoring a
security level and decision making capability to improve
the current security level. In this paper, we describe
how security metrics are able to support self-adaptive
security. The paper analyses benefits and challenges of
security measuring from the self-adaptive security
perspective. Thus, five benefits and three challenges of
security metrics in self-adaptive security are described.
Furthermore, the paper derives requirements that
measuring causes for self-adaptive security. Based on the
derived requirements, extension components for the MAPE
(Monitor, Analyse, Plan and Execute) reference model are
proposed.
