N2 - Advances in technologies such as cloud computing and Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) environments have dramatically changed the way in which organisations do business. Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) is at the core of this revolution, yet it has become an almost impossible task to protect CII against all possible threats effectively. Multi Agent Systems (MASs) and have addressed Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) from unique ways, yet these approaches often lack a sufficient contextualisation of the environment and its dynamism. Without a sufficient contextualisation of an environment and the dynamism that is associated with it, an automated CIIP mechanism will never be truly effective. To address this contextualisation problem that autonomous CIIP-mechanism face, the SA-EF Cube model is proposed. The model can be used as a “checklist” to assess if an autonomous CIIP solution covers the fundamental requirements to contextualise the problem domain of CIIP. The SA-EF Cube model is by no means exhaustive in nature, serves as solid foundation for an implementation checklist before any CIIP mechanism is contextualised and developed.
