Abstract:
This paper suggests an XML-based IA asset management architecture for system vulnerability. Once an information assurance vulnerability notice is given for a system, it is important for reducing massive system engineering efforts for IA asset management. When systems are updated by security patch for mitigating system vulnerability, asset management based on vulnerability update and request is trivial, in order to increase accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of software processes. By employing XML technology, we can achieve seamless and efficient asset management between heterogeneous system format as well as data formats in analysing and exchanging the pertinent information for information assurance vulnerability. Thus, when a system is updated to improve system vulnerability, we proposed XML-based IA asset management architecture. Then, an executable architecture for implementation to verify the proposed scheme and testing environment is presented to mitigate vulnerable systems
for sustained system.
