Management for Security Processes

Nowadays most security relevant processes and workflows are statical- ly defined and performed and hence all the necessary security measures must be determined in advance. Current research shows that the security level can be en- hanced if these processes take into account real time risk information collected during their execution. We will present two application scenarios we developed for research projects: airport checkpoints with dynamically adapted security processes considering risk information from check-in luggage and passenger screening; and neutralization of improved explosive devices considering information from real- time risk mitigation. Both scenarios show that real-time risk mitigation and dy- namically adapted workflows have the potential to enhance security and reduce risk. We will present basic conditions for the underlying information system infra- structure and the dynamic adaptation of the processes and workflows.
