IQM Cyber are your security architecture experts
Security at its core is about the protection of things of value from those who intend harm. When we create ICT systems to hold and manage our assets, it’s critical that security is built into its architecture at the initial phase of the systems lifecycle.
Security architecture is a key component within the overall ICT architecture which define and enforce our security requirements. How, where and to what extent security architecture is designed, and how it’s embedded within the overall ICT environment, are critical considerations.
Security Architecture Assistance
We can incorporate security architecture principles, guidelines and patterns and into your environment and systems. We achieve this by understanding your:
- Business context – why it exists, what its objectives and, most importantly, identifying the assets to protect from a business perspective
- ICT environmental context – understanding the broader architectural ICT environment in which the assets reside
- System-specific context - identifying system-specific architectural constructs, constraints, patterns and key areas and assets to protect from a system perspective
- Security Architecture – with an understanding of the above, we can provide sensible, robust and business oriented secure architectural advice, assistance and solutions that is commensurate with the assets value to your organisation
