Ontology-Based Decision Support for Security Management in Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract. In this paper our original methodology of applying ontologybased logic into decision support system for security management in heterogeneous networks is presented. Such decision support approach is used by the off-network layer of security and resiliency mechanisms developed in the INTERSECTION Project. Decision support application uses knowledge about networks vulnerabilities to support off-network operator to manage and control in-networks components such as probes, intrusion detection systems, Complex Event Processor, Reaction and Remediation. Hereby, both IV O (Intersection Vulnerability Ontology) as well as PIV OT - decision support system based on the vulnerability ontology are presented.
