Architecture Overview
The Cybersecurity Architecture Overview is a landing page for a collection of related pages. It provides a curated perspective on cybersecurity architecture areas for mentoring and delivering cybersecurity architecture.
Architecture Framework
This Cybersecurity Architecture section focuses on an integrated architecture framework that leverages TOGAF and SABSA. A formalized architecture framework defines the framework, methodology, and practice for designing and delivering architectures. It is also necessary to define the integration between business, enterprise, and cybersecurity architecture.
Architecture Templates
This Cybersecurity Architecture section focuses on architecture templates, which contain artifacts (used to gather information) and deliverables. TOGAF is very heavy with documentation within its core metamodel, and in contrast, SABSA doesn’t necessarily define or provide artifact and deliverable templates. Templates here are more TOGAF-light with SABSA content. Additionally, Archi ArchiMate templates for initial diagrams are available.
Reference Architectures
This Cybersecurity Architecture section focuses on reference architectures. Reference architectures are necessary for developing architectures that align with the related business, technology, and cybersecurity strategies defined by the board of directors and executive leadership. They also help organize domains of knowledge across architecture practice and the architects delivering architecture. No one person can keep all of this in their head, and having starting points makes design and delivery more productive, efficient, and effective.
