Säkerhetsparadigm

Säkerhetsparadigm is a Swedish term that translates to "security paradigm." It refers to a fundamental way of thinking about and approaching security, encompassing the underlying principles, assumptions, and methodologies that guide security practices. A security paradigm shapes how individuals and organizations perceive threats, design defenses, and respond to incidents.

Different security paradigms have emerged throughout history, reflecting evolving technological landscapes and understanding of risks. Early paradigms often focused on physical security, such as walls and guards, to protect valuable assets. With the advent of digital technology, information security paradigms became dominant, emphasizing concepts like confidentiality, integrity, and availability (the CIA triad).

More recent paradigms acknowledge the interconnectedness of systems and the dynamic nature of threats. These might include concepts like zero trust, which assumes no entity can be implicitly trusted, or resilience, which focuses on the ability to withstand and recover from attacks rather than solely preventing them. The choice of security paradigm influences the types of technologies deployed, the policies implemented, and the overall security posture of an entity. Understanding the prevailing or chosen security paradigm is crucial for effectively addressing security challenges in any given context.
