8.3 Event Management Automation Protocol (EMAP) Notes

The Event Management Automation Protocol (EMAP) is a suite of interoperable specifications
designed to standardize the communication of event management data. EMAP is an emerging
protocol within the NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) Security Automation
Program, and is a peer to similar automation protocols such as the Security Content Automation
Protocol (SCAP). Where SCAP standardizes the data models of configuration and vulnerability
management domains, EMAP will focus on standardizing the data models relating to event and
audit management. At a high-level, the goal of EMAP is to enable standardized content,
representation, exchange, correlation, searching, storing, prioritization, and auditing of event
records within an organizational IT environment.
Community involvement is critical to the success of the EMAP initiative, because input from the
security automation community will ensure the broadest possible range of use cases is reflected
in EMAP functionality. This Web site is provided to support continued community involvement.
This site will be updated regularly and will serve as the primary resource for finding EMAP
related materials. You are invited to participate, whether monitoring community dialog or
leading more substantive activities like specification authorship.
From analysis of large events that demonstrate leadership in sustainability, five areas consistently
surface as instrumental factors in achieving measurable sustainability performance:

Visionary Leadership.
Strategic Approach.
Stakeholder Engagement and Communication.

Operational Integration.
Transparent Governance and Assurance.
Pioneering sustainable event planners integrate these five areas into a management system that
aligns and supports their day-to-day business practices. In a structured framework, sustainability
tactics are approached with strategic, operational, collaborative and administrative consideration
and processes.

They are always connected and progress should be consistently reviewed using a systems
approach of:
PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT.

Did u know? In the real world, the five areas are not necessarily continually synchronized
or executed in a serial fashion. Instead all five have to be considered within the entire
planning and organisation of the event.
