Cyber security components for pervasive Enterprise Security Management and the virtualization aspects

This research addresses Enterprise Security Management (ESM) as the enabling component of building reliable, secure and interoperable enterprise components that allows users of various needs and trusts to access required information. The ESM functions are broken down into constituent parts and analyzed in terms of components and architecture. To make this research relevant to a wider audience and to include the latest approaches, we examine virtualization and cloud computing to understand the affects of these enterprise building methodologies on the security of multi-level security information residing within the enterprise either locally or through a Cross Domain system.
