Utilização de Elementos Ontológicos para Representação de Conhecimento em Segurança da Informação

Abstract

The issue of information security is fundamental in today’s society we live in have a wide variety of content that is available in various media and are subject to various forms of threats, physical or virtual, which can compromise the security of the information and of the people to which they belong. In addition, the need for attention to the issue of information security is increasingly the amount of data that people manipulate daily. Ally to, another major challenge for organizations is the difficulty of interconnecting their systems and sharing of knowledge among the various elements of its infrastructure of network and business. This causes the effort required to make changes to rules increase, which is also reflected in the increase in cost and / or of execution. This research presents a knowledge representation approach on ontology-based internal threat incidents to support the creation, the sharing and analysis of indicators of this theme. The ontology was submitted to the Pellet and Racer inference engines that analyzed their internal consistency, consistency of concepts, class hierarchy and existence of equivalent classes. The search points of attention that researchers can use as a creation of ontologies.
