Abstract
Distributed network security is an important concern in modern business environments. Access to critical information and areas has to be limited to authorised users. The Herold research project aims to provide a novel way of managing distributed network security through the means of agent-based software. In this paper we present the first models, both conceptual and technical that have been produced in this project. Furthermore we examine the Paose development approach used within the project and how it contributes to Herold.
