  Abstract

We propose an optimization method of the investment cost for countermeasure portfolios in information security using a genetic algorithm. With the rate of information security breaches, the expected damage cost by security breaches, and the rates of countermeasures filtering security breaches, we formulate the selection problem of an optimal countermeasure portfolio for information security as a mathematical optimization problem based on the investment cost and develop a solution procedure based on a genetic algorithm. In addition, we present numerical examples, considering various scenarios in information security.
