Security policy in a complex logistics procurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Royal Air Force Logistics Information Technology System (LITS) is a ten year United Kingdom procurement programme to provide the Royal Air Force with a fully integrated IT system covering its Supply and Engineering functions. It will hold and process classified information and thus requires an IT security policy. Although a single integrated system, it will service many distinct locations and types of applications, and will be developed and put into operational use over this extended period. It will also link to many related logistics and other support systems. It has been found necessary to define a hierarchy of security policies covering the full scope and extent of the system, and it may be necessary to have multiple security targets for security evaluation.
