Security Architecture, or Enterprise Information security
architecture, as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006,
has been applied to many things and different areas, making a
concrete definition of Security architecture a difficult
proposition. But having an architecture for the cyber security
needs of an organization is important for many reasons, not least
because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a
much easier job, since we can now build on a, hopefully, solid
foundation. Developing a security architecture is a daunting job,
for almost anyone, and in a company that has not had a cyber
security program implemented before, the job becomes even harder.
The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in
place cannot be overstated! The challenge here is that a security
architecture is not something that can stand alone, it absolutely
must be aligned with the business in which is being implemented.
This book emphasizes the importance, and the benefits, of having a
security architecture in place. The book will be aligned with most
of the sub frameworks in the general framework called SABSA, or
Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture. SABSA is comprised
of several individual frameworks and there are several
certifications that you can take in SABSA. Aside from getting a
validation of your skills, SABSA as a framework focusses on
aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its
strategy. Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with
one or more of the components in SABSA, the components will be
described along with the introduction to each of the chapters.
In this book the author draws inspiration from Sun Tzu's Art of
War, a work that explains conflict between nations, and he applies
this to the computer security setting, examining how we should
consider protecting information systems from accidents or malicious
attacks. The author first briefly introduces Sun Tzu. Then each
chapter in the book takes its inspiration from an original title in
The Art of War, where the author offers a general introduction to
the content and then describes its application in a cybersecurity
setting. These chapters cover estimates; waging war; offensive
strategy; how you prepare for an attack; energy; weaknesses and
strengths; the variables that need consideration before embarking
on a war; how infrastructure is related to the concept of ground;
attack by fire or how skilled attackers hide behind noise; and
employing secret agents. The book will be interesting for computer
security researchers and professionals who would like some
grounding in a security mindset.
