Jech, Vladimír ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Doucek, Petr (referee) ; Čapek, Jan (referee)
Securing user devices and servers requires a complex approach which includes not only the configuration of the device itself but also many other factors. The goal of this thesis is to present principles of a new guideline aimed at security and management of user devices and servers in the context of information security. The first part of this paper is devoted to the analysis of existing industry standards, frameworks, guidelines, and other collections of best practice commonly used in the management of informatics and information and IT security. The analysis is complemented with a field research conducted among forefront specialists. Based on the analysis and research, a new methodic concept for the management and control of user devices and servers security called DEVSEC is described in the next part. The concept is constructed with emphasis on security requirements, security measures, processes, resources and the overall security assurance process. The last part of the paper provides results of the final research aimed at testing the concept in the envitonment of one financial firm and also results of another field research among security specialists. The DEVSEC contributes to the theory of management of informatics as well as to its practice. The concept represents a complex approach to the management and control of security of servers and user devices as well as a new guideline ready for practical utilization.
