Security Architecture
Security architecture is the overall design of an organization's security system, outlining how all its components work together to protect information and systems from cyber threats. It's like a blueprint for defense, ensuring everything is properly secured.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Security Architecture is the holistic design and implementation framework defining the structure, policies, controls, and components that collectively protect an organization's information assets, systems, and networks against cyber threats, ensuring alignment with business objectives and regulatory compliance. It encompasses security domains like access control, network security, data protection, and incident response.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
