Security threats can reduce the functionality, performance, availability, and integrity of IT systems. These systemic qualities are critical --- so much so that they are typically instantiated formally into Service Level Agreements (SLAs). In IT environments, the desire is to reduce potential security threats at least to the degree by which SLAs can be satisfied. This article discusses the principles and characteristics of a new architectural approach --- adaptive security --- which is based in part on the concepts and principles of complex adaptive systems.
