<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please find enclosed the description of a research
assistant/PhD position that we are happy to have created due to a large project
we acquired. Please could you be so kind to forward this e-mail to interested
individuals.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ronald Maier.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>In collaboration with several partners from academia and
industry, the Innsbruck Information Systems (IIS) group of the Innsbruck
University School of Management currently embarks on a highly competitive EU
FP7 integrating project. The IIS group is now looking for prospective PhD
students interested in the areas of research that will be elaborated within the
scope of the project and willing to get involved in a determined and
well-networked information systems research group located in Innsbruck,
Austria. The PhD positions will be embedded in the POSECCO project which just
started in October 2010 and is scheduled for 36 months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The POSECCO project proceeds on the assumption that
today's shortcomings with regard to policy and security configuration
management impact trustworthiness, compliance and profitability of Internet
applications. Core activities are creating and maintaining consistent security
policies and their correct and traceable enforcement by security configurations
of all infrastructure elements. The project’s vision is to establish and
maintain a consistent, transparent, sustainable and traceable link between
high-level, business-driven security and compliance requirements on the one
side and low-level technical configuration settings of individual
infrastructure elements on the other side. Such an end-to-end link shall be
maintained in operating conditions, i.e., considering a constant evolution
caused by new or changing security and compliance requirements as well as a
continuously changing landscape. It is intended to maintain this end-to-end link
by automated means where possible and to offer decision support where human
interaction is inevitable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The technical research work conducted within the scope of
the POSECCO project is complemented by a business-focused work package that
investigates organizational processes putting particular emphasis on the
involved stakeholders, their information needs, usability aspects and
cost/benefit issues. This work package is led by the IIS group. Among others,
the IIS group will conduct an empirical study in close cooperation with other
project partners with the purpose of better understanding the end-user
requirements with respect to policy and security configuration management and
develop and measure KPIs for the project evaluation as well as for the discussion
of the economic viability of the project outcomes.<o:p></o:p></p>
