Systemic Security Evaluation

Definition

Systemic security evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of the security posture of an entire digital system, considering all its interconnected components and their interactions. This evaluation goes beyond individual vulnerabilities to identify risks that arise from the system’s overall design, operational procedures, and external dependencies. It aims to uncover weaknesses that could lead to cascading failures or widespread compromise. Such an approach is critical for robust security assurance in complex environments.
