Practical Cybersecurity Architecture

By: Ed Moyle, Diana Kelley

Overview of this book

Cybersecurity architects work with others to develop a comprehensive understanding of the business' requirements. They work with stakeholders to plan designs that are implementable, goal-based, and in keeping with the governance strategy of the organization. With this book, you'll explore the fundamentals of cybersecurity architecture: addressing and mitigating risks, designing secure solutions, and communicating with others about security designs. The book outlines strategies that will help you work with execution teams to make your vision a concrete reality, along with covering ways to keep designs relevant over time through ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and continuous improvement. As you progress, you'll also learn about recognized frameworks for building robust designs as well as strategies that you can adopt to create your own designs. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to be able to architect solutions with robust security components for your organization, whether they are infrastructure solutions, application solutions, or others.

Summary

Throughout this chapter, we've dealt with one important and key theme for both the execution of your solutions as well as ensuring that they stay current and valuable: specifically, managing change. In the first section, we talked about strategies to manage and mitigate change that can negatively impact the execution and practical implementation of solutions that you design, and in the second half, we talked about how you can monitor and manage changes that might impact the relevance of your designs after they're implemented.

In the next chapter, we will build on this, discussing how you can increase the maturity of your architectural approach, and put everything that we've learned together to ensure that you are doing the best job you can in ensuring that your organization is appropriately safeguarded.
