Enterprise Security Architecture
More and more organisations are increasing realising the benefit of Enterprise Architecture, and more specifically that of Enterprise Security Architecture, ensuring the alignment of the core business strategy, IT Enterprise Security and implementation.
The primarily responsibility of an Enterprise Security Architecture practice is to be responsible for the definition of IT Security architectural decisions governing Business, Application, Data and Technology domains, to coin common TOGAF terminology. The value that enterprise security architecture can add to an organisation through reuse of processes, technology and holistic join-up cross organisational thinking is truly measurable, avoiding isolated or ‘siloed’ deployments and solutioning.
