Game-Theoretic Models for Assessing Security of a SOA Based Intelligence Information System

Modern information technology offers significant
support to the Intelligence Cycles (planning, collecting, analyzing
of data and their dissemination), by promoting the appropriate
and flexible use of information, its searchability and exploitation.
Although Intelligence Information Systems can significantly
improve current and generate new intelligence working
protocols, they are confronted with a serious challenge – the
security of the system and the circulated information.
Optimization techniques in the context of game and control
theory are some of the tools that offer mathematical support for
the formalization of the decision-making processes related to
networked systems security. Game theory has been recently
recognized as a way around the problem of lacking a quantitive
decision framework for the security issues, as well as a model that
can address more efficiently the problem of computational
complexity in simulations.
