Security System

A Security System is a protection framework that can be used to create asset defense solutions (that support threat mitigation tasks).

• AKA: Security Solution, Protection System, Defense System.
• Context:
  • It can typically safeguard Protected Asset with security controls to prevent unauthorized access.
  • It can typically implement Defense Mechanism with protective measures to mitigate security risks.
  • It can typically enforce Security Policy through control implementation when security events are detected.
  • It can typically protect Valuable Resource through defense strategy against security threats.
  • It can typically monitor Protected Environment through surveillance mechanisms for threat indicators.
  • ...
  • It can often facilitate Incident Response through detection mechanisms for security teams.
  • It can often provide Security Intelligence through information collection for threat assessment.
  • It can often deploy Preventive Control through security architecture for proactive protection.
  • It can often support Compliance Requirement through security enforcement and audit processes.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Security System to being a Complex Security System, depending on its protection scope.
  • It can range from being a Physical Security System to being a Digital Security System, depending on its protection domain.
  • It can range from being a Passive Security System to being an Active Security System, depending on its response capability.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Security System to being an Integrated Security System, depending on its implementation approach.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Risk Management Framework for risk-based security.
  • It can connect to Identity Management System for access control.
  • It can support Compliance Management System for regulatory adherence.
  • It can work with Monitoring System for threat detection.
  • It can interface with Response System for incident handling.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Security System Types, such as:
    • Physical Security Systems, such as:
      • Access Control System for facility protection.
      • Surveillance System for area monitoring.
      • Alarm System for intrusion detection.
    • Information Security Systems, such as:
      • Network Security System for digital communication protection.
      • Data Security System for information asset protection.
      • Application Security System for software protection.
    • Operational Security Systems, such as:
      • Personnel Security System for human threat mitigation.
      • Procedural Security System for process protection.
      • Emergency Response System for crisis management.
  • Security System Components, such as:
    • Detection Components, such as:
      • Sensor System for threat identification.
      • Monitoring System for suspicious activity detection.
    • Prevention Components, such as:
      • Barrier System for access limitation.
      • Authentication System for identity verification.
    • Response Components, such as:
      • Alert System for notification distribution.
      • Mitigation System for damage control.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Safety System, which focuses on accident prevention and harm reduction rather than deliberate threat protection.
  • Quality Control System, which ensures product standards rather than protecting against malicious activity.
  • Audit System, which verifies compliance and performance without providing active protection.
  • Recovery System, which concentrates on restoration capability rather than threat prevention.
