Cybersecurity Architecture Design and Implementation

Cybersecurity Architecture Design and Implementation

A crucial aspect before design and implementation of appropriate cybersecurity architecture is a thorough analysis of current architecture and weak points identification.

A crucial aspect before design and implementation of appropriate cybersecurity architecture is a thorough analysis of current architecture and weak points identification

Contextual

including the position of Security and its role in Business​

Conceptual

containing a high-level description of Security - Security Strategy

Logical

containing a model of organization model of information flow and Security Policy

Physical

describing the procedures, mechanisms, platform and network infrastructure

Component

consisting of direct utility to implement Security - standards, protocols, certificates

Operations

also called service management layer security – bounds other layers in daily operations of the organization - Safety of applications, networks, technical support

Goal

The purpose of the implementation of the cybersecurity architecture is to provide adequate security mechanisms that will reduce the risk of security breaches:​
  • Safety – situation where disruption of BPCS / DCS or SIS systems may cause harmful impact on humans and environment.​
  • Availability – situations where the implemented solution will not be possible to use on-demand, within the prescribed time, or its performance fails to meet the business requirements.​
  • Integrity of information – situations where data will be unauthorized or accidental modified, this also applies to the protection of data transmission between systems
  • Confidentiality of information – situations where the collected data will be ​​available to an unauthorized person​
Ensure the appropriate level of Security and Safety must base on business needs:​
  • Implementation and maintenance of security mechanisms can not generate costs that are not economically justified​
  • Security mechanisms can not unduly restrict the operations of the company.​

Benefits of the security architecture implementation

  • Business justification of implemented security mechanisms.​
  • Comprehensive and coherent approach to security.​
  • Tailored Security Architecture.​
  • Safety as a factor supporting, rather than disturbing to business organization activity.​
  • Possibility of integrating the most important standards, services and security solutions within a coherent security architecture.​
  • The developed concept is neutral in terms of choice of security solution provider.​
  • The developed solution is scalable.​
