ABOUT
This presentation will present an approach called the Systemic-Holistic Approach. The approach can be used to gain a basic understanding of problem domains such as
that of security, by enabling the analysis and structuring issues relating to IT security. The approach is based on General Systems Theories, Cybernetics, General Living
Systems Theory, Socio-Technical Design perspectives and Soft System Methodology.

The aim of this presentation is to present the theoretical background to the Systemic Holistic Approach; its model and framework.

The objectives are to give a systemicholistic view of the IT security area which makes it possible for a student – and we all need to be life long learners, to grasp and deal with details as well as overviews in a subjective way, but based on objective knowledge.
