Enterprise Architecture and Information SecurityJohn Macasio
A thinking tool to ask and describe the alignment requirements of business, information, technology and security to improve and secure the management of process, data, application and infrastructure of performance.
Does Anyone Remember Enterprise Security Architecture?rbrockway
The concept of Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA) is not new (Gartner 2006), yet the numbers from the past several years’ worth of breach data indicates that most organizations continue to approach security on a project by project basis or from a compliance perspective. This talk will refresh the ESA concept and communicate tangible and realistic steps any organization can take to align their security processes, architecture and management to their business strategies, reduce business risks and significantly improve their overarching security posture.

Risk-driven and Business-outcome-focused Enterprise Security Architecture Fra...Craig Martin
Ana Kukec, Lead Enterprise Security Consultant, Enterprise Architects, Australia
The Open Group Architecture Forum and Security Forum agree that the coverage of security in TOGAF should be updated and improved. The understanding and focus of security architecture has moved from a threat-driven approach of addressing non-normative flaws through systems and applications to a risk-driven and business outcome-focused methodology of enabling a business strategy.
Following this trend, we defined fundamental characteristics of effective security architecture. 1) Capabilities are primary assets at risk, while information systems and technology components are secondary assets at risk supporting the primary assets. 2) Security requirements include the business aspects and not only the technology aspects of confidentiality, integrity and availability. 3) IT risk management is business-opportunity-driven. It requires understanding of risk appetite across business, information systems and technology architecture to manage security risks of vulnerabilities and compliance issues, which may arise at any layer of enterprise architecture in a business-outcome-focused way. 4) Security services are aligned to business drivers, goals and objectives, and managed in a risk-driven way.
Yet, there is no single security architecture development methodology to deliver these characteristics. We believe that existing information security standards and frameworks in a combination with the TOGAF are sufficient to meet the aforementioned fundamental characteristics of effective security architecture. However the challenge is in their integration. Our Enterprise Security Architecture Framework integrates key industry standards and best practices for information security and risk management, such as COBIT 5 for Information Security, ITILv3 Security Service Management, ISO/IEC 27000 and ISO/IEC 31000 families of standards, using the TOGAF Architecture Development Method and Content Meta-model as the key integrators. It is a pragmatic security architecture framework which establishes a common language between IT, security, risk and business organisations within an enterprise and ensures effective and efficient support of long-term security needs of both business and IT, with a risk-driven enterprise as a final outcome.
We will present a case study of the implementation of the aforementioned business-outcome-focused and risk-driven Enterprise Security Architecture Framework at the University of New South Wales.
Key takeaways:
-- Overview of a risk-driven and business-outcome-focused security architecture methodology seamlessly integrated with the TOGAF
-> Security strategic planning
-> Enterprise-wide compliance, internal (policies and standards) and external (laws and regulations
-> Business-opportunity driven management of security risk of threats, vulnerabilities and compliance issues across business, information systems and technology architecture

MODEL-DRIVEN SECURITY ASSESSMENT AND VERIFICATION FOR BUSINESS SERVICES ijwscjournal
Information security covers many areas within an enterprise. Each area has security vulnerabilities and, hopefully, some corresponding countermeasures that raise the security level and
provide better protection. The fundamental concepts in information security are the security model, which outlines how security is to be implemented. A security policy outlines how data is accessed, what level of security is required, and what actions should be taken when these requirements are not met. A security model is a statement that outlines the requirements necessary to properly support and implement a certain security policy. An important concept in the design and analysis of secure systems is the security model, because it incorporates the security policy that should be enforced in the system. A model is a symbolic representation of a policy. It maps the desires of the policy makers into a set of rules that are to be followed by a computer system. In the paper we propose a model driven security assessment and verification for business service. The Security Assessment and Verification verifies whether the Application and Services are secure based on the Service Level Agreement and generates the report on the level of security features. It is designed to help business owners, operators and staff to assess the security of their business. It covers potential areas of vulnerability, and provides suggestions for adapting your security to reduce the risk of crime against your business. A security policy states that no one from a lower security level should be able to view or modify information at a higher security level, the supporting security model will outline the necessary logic and rules that need to be implemented to
ensure that under no circumstances can a lower-level subject access a higher-level object in an unauthorized manner. The security policy is an abstract term that represents the objectives and goals a system must meet and accomplish to be deemed secure and acceptable.
The development and deployment of an enterprise Security Policy that defines the what and how of enterprise security is now mandated by numerous regulatory and industry standards, such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS. The development of a Security Policy, however, generally takes specialized skills that most organizations do not have. As a result, the process either takes a significant amount of time, or a significant amount of money.
Info-Tech’s Security Policy Solution Set will help you:
•Understand what goes into a Security Policy and why.
•Determine which specific policies are required by your organization.
•Streamline the creation of a policy set via customizable standards-based templates.
•Implement policies in an order that makes sense.
•Understand policy enforcement.
Use this material to build the Policies you need to be protected and compliant without spending a penny.
RANKING CRITERIA OF ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SECURITY ARCHITECTURE USING FUZZY ...ijcsit
Information security against hacking, altering, corrupting, and divulging data is vital and inevitable and it requires an effective management in every organization. Some of the upcoming challenges can be the study
of available frameworks in Enterprise Information Security Architecture (EISA) as well as criteria
extraction in this field. In this study a method has been adopted in order to extract and categorize
important and effective criteria in the field of information security by studying the major dimensions of
EISA including standards, policies and procedures, organization infrastructure, user awareness and
training, security base lines, risk assessment and compliance. Gartner's framework has been applied as a
fundamental model to categorize the criteria. To assess the proposed model, a questionnaire was prepared
and a group of EISA professionals completed it. The Fuzzy TOPSIS was used to quantify the data and prioritize criteria. It could be concluded that the database and database security criteria, inner software security, electronic exchange security and supervising malicious software can be high priorities.

Logistics and supply chain in rural india the opportunityAmarwaha
As the Indian retail, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors are poised for rapid growth; they are faced with new challenges when it comes to logistics and supply chain issues — particularly in the untapped rural areas for farm produce and delivery of goods and services.
With over 70 per cent of the economy centered around the rural parts of the country, logistics players are now seeking ways to address this issue as about $100 billion worth potential is latent in the rural parts of the country. India still prohibits foreign direct investment in multi-brand retailing but continues to be pressured by multi-national giants since as Wal-Mart and Tesco, from the UK. In response the Indian government has told these global retail chains that they should invest in the back-end infrastructure before any consideration can be given to the opening up of the Indian retail market.

This session will cover ithe nuts & bolts of how to develop and tune built-in search capabilities, making SharePoint search work for you.
Making SharePoint Search work comes down to some very practical steps you can take to improve the search experience for your end users. Many organizations fail to take advantage of the controls built into SharePoint. Further, they ignore objective ways to measure success. In this call, we will discuss the following topics:
• The impact of site structure on relevancy
• Using metadata to improve findability
• Leveraging SharePoint Best Bets
• Authoritative pages for prescribed keywords
• Utilizing pre-constructed search queries
• Measuring results and making adjustments
11 areas that you should have baked into your migration plans. In this vendor session at SPS San Diego, I also gave a 20 minute demo of Davinci Migrator for SharePoint 2010.

Looking Under the Hood -- Australia SharePoint ConferenceChristian Buckley
"Looking Under the Hood: How Your Metadata Strategy Impacts Everything You Do" was presented on 3/9/2011 at the Australia SharePoint Conference in Sydney.
This session will discuss building an effective search and information architecture strategy for SharePoint.
One of the reasons many SharePoint implementations fail to meet user expectations is the lack of investment in its underlying information architecture. Some organizations see SharePoint as an out-of-the-box solution that they can simply plug in and throw content into, but it requires as much thought and effort around data structure, organizational principles, and search configuration as any portal or intranet.
This call will discuss building an effective search and information architecture strategy for SharePoint, including such topics as:
• Building a search & IA vision
• Requirements gathering & use cases
• Implementation strategy & approaches
• The future of SharePoint search

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
