How Knowledge Management Can Support the IT Security of eGovernment Services

Safeguarding security for eGovernment services is an essential ingredient for the success of such services. For this purpose, isolated security efforts are not sufficient. Integrated concepts are required. In the publicly funded project SKe, we are developing such an integrated approach. One component of this integrated approach is a knowledge management-based solution to support the dynamic aspects of IT security. The component — an intelligent IT security console — supports the daily work of the IT security personnel and supports them in systematically recording and using experiences in their work process. The component is being developed in cooperation with an application partner and is also used in projects with industrial partners.
