  4. Common Security Architecture Terms • Information Security Management System • Information Security Architecture • Best Practice • Architecture • Blueprint • Framework • Infrastructure

  5. Objectives of EnterpriseSecurity Architecture • Guidance • Strategically aligned business and security decisions • Provide security-related guidance • Apply security best practices • Define security zones

  6. Benefits of an EnterpriseSecurity Architecture • Consistently manage risk • Reduce the costs of managing risk • Accurate security-related decisions • Promote interoperability, integration and ease-of-access • Provide a frame of reference

  7. Characteristics of a GoodSecurity Architecture • Strategic • Holistic • Multiple implementations

  8. Effects of Poor Architectural Planning • Inability to efficiently support new business services • Unidentified security vulnerabilities • Increased frequency and visibility of security breaches • Poorly understood or coordinated compliance requirements • Poor understanding of security goals and objectives

  9. Enterprise SecurityArchitecture Components • Common Architecture Language • Architecture Model • Zachman Framework

  10. Zachman Framework • Complete overview of IT business alignment • Two-dimensional • Intent • Scope • Principles

  11. SABSA • What are the business requirements? • Contextual • Conceptual • Logical • Physical • Component

  12. ISO 7498-2 • OSI second part • About secure communications • NOT an implementation
