Information-System Protection System

An Information-System Protection System is a security system that can be used to create information asset defense solutions (that support system safeguarding tasks).

• AKA: ISPS, Information System Security Framework, IS Protection Architecture.
• Context:
  • It can typically safeguard Information System with integrated control measures to prevent security compromise.
  • It can typically implement Defensive Technology with layered protection approaches to mitigate information-system vulnerabilitys.
  • It can typically enforce Security Requirement through technical implementation when system threats are identified.
  • It can typically protect Digital Infrastructure through unified defense strategy against system-targeted attacks.
  • It can typically monitor System State through continuous assessment for security posture deviation.
  • ...
  • It can often facilitate Security Governance through policy enforcement mechanisms for organization-wide compliance.
  • It can often provide System Resilience through recovery capability for business continuity.
  • It can often deploy Information-System Control through standardized framework for consistent protection.
  • It can often support Risk Management Process through vulnerability assessment and threat modeling.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Information-System Protection System to being a Complex Information-System Protection System, depending on its protection comprehensiveness.
  • It can range from being a Technical Information-System Protection System to being an Administrative Information-System Protection System, depending on its control type.
  • It can range from being a Static Information-System Protection System to being an Adaptive Information-System Protection System, depending on its response capability.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Enterprise Architecture for security-by-design.
  • It can connect to Data Classification System for risk-based protection.
  • It can support Change Management Process for secure system evolution.
  • It can work with Third-Party Risk Management for external dependency protection.
  • It can interface with Regulatory Compliance Framework for mandatory security requirements.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Information-System Protection System Types, such as:
    • Critical Infrastructure Protection Systems, such as:
      • Industrial Control System Protection for operational technology safeguarding.
      • SCADA Security System for industrial system defense.
    • Enterprise Information-System Protection Systems, such as:
      • Corporate IT Protection Framework for business system security.
      • Enterprise Resource Planning Protection for core business system defense.
    • Government Information-System Protection Systems, such as:
      • Classified System Protection Framework for sensitive information safeguarding.
      • Government Database Protection System for citizen data security.
  • Information-System Protection System Components, such as:
    • Technical Protection Components, such as:
      • Cybersecurity System for digital threat prevention.
      • Physical Security Control for tangible asset protection.
    • Administrative Protection Components, such as:
      • Security Policy Framework for governance implementation.
      • Security Awareness Program for human factor mitigation.
    • Operational Protection Components, such as:
      • Security Operations Center for continuous monitoring implementation.
      • Incident Response System for security event handling.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Data Protection System, which focuses specifically on data assets rather than the entire information system ecosystem.
  • Network Security System, which addresses only the network infrastructure component without covering the full information system scope.
  • Compliance Management System, which prioritizes regulatory adherence over comprehensive security protection.
  • Business Continuity System, which concentrates on recovery capability rather than preventative protection.
