Enterprise information security architecture (ZBI) is a part of enterprise architecture focusing on information security throughout the enterprise. The name implies a difference that may not exist between small/medium-sized businesses and larger organizations.
Overview
Enterprise information security architecture is becoming a common practice within financial institutions around the globe. The primary purpose of creating an enterprise information security architecture is to ensure that business strategy and IT security are aligned.[1]
Enterprise information security architecture topics
Enterprise information security architecture was first formally positioned by Gartner in their whitepaper called “Incorporating Security into the Enterprise Architecture Process”.[2]
High-level security architecture framework
Enterprise information security architecture frameworks are only a subset of enterprise architecture frameworks. If we had to simplify the conceptual abstraction of enterprise information security architecture within a generic framework, the picture on the right would be acceptable as a high-level conceptual security architecture framework.
Other open enterprise architecture frameworks are:
- SABSA framework and methodology
- The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF)
- Extended Enterprise Architecture Framework (E2AF) from the Institute For Enterprise Architecture Developments.
- Federal Enterprise Architecture of the United States Government (FEA)
- Capgemini's Integrated Architecture Framework[3]
- The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) Architecture Framework (MODAF)
- NIH Enterprise Architecture Framework[4]
- Open Security Architecture[5]
- Information Assurance Enterprise Architectural Framework (IAEAF)
- Service-Oriented Modeling Framework (SOMF)
- The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF)
- Zachman Framework
