The Convergence of Military and Civil Approaches to Informaton Security?

Abstract

The motivation for this paper is the about-turn that defence computing went through with open systems interconnection (051) and Ada. Defence specific products and bespoke development were discarded as the cost-benefits of mainstream COTS systems became far superior. This paper shows that a similar situation is developing in information security (infosec) and suggests that the defence approach to security may need to adapt if it is to benefit from the rapidly growing commercial market.
