Implementing Knowledge Management Techniques for Security Purposes

Due to its rapid growth, Information Systems Security becomes a new era of expertise, related to a vast quantity of knowledge. Exploiting all this knowledge becomes a difficult task, due to its heterogeneity. Knowledge Management (KM) on the other hand, becomes an expanding and promising discipline that has drawn considerable attention. In this paper we deploy our arguments about the benefits of KM techniques and their possible applications to assist security officers in improving their productivity and effectiveness. To prove this, we exploit possible technological prospects, and we present the architecture of a prototype developed to implement selected innovating KM components, embedding state-of-the-art multimedia java-
