The Contextual Security Architecture Layer In The SABA Model

Security departments and employees commonly have to work with the organizations budgeting process to be able to plan for the replacement, maintenance, or installation of new security controls and systems. Often a security manager must create an outline or summary of the benefits, total system life costs, and the need for the system to justify the expenditures. They should also create a budget that allows the budgeting team to assess the proposal and compare it to other departments that are trying to allocate capital for their department’s use. This in turn requires the use of several different metrics to identify the best allocation of capital. (McCrie, 2007; Fitzgerals, 2008)

To start off with I chose to go with our banking or financial industry. The banking industry is constantly getting attacked by various methods on a daily basis. I chose this industry because I happen to know someone who works in the security sector at Wells Fargo Bank, he was a good person to get information on what he sees on a daily or weekly basis. This paper is the opinion of myself and with gathered information from various resources.

Consider your case-study industry and the security discussions that are taking place there.  Consider the security discussions that are taking place in this seminar.  Delve into the models that have been explored and articulate what you and your colleagues think of these conceptual frameworks.  Assess the overall value of models and frameworks to your industry's security environment. Reference sources and the interview will be essential to the success of this particular assignment.

Other security elements are in reference to data recovery, database administration, handling a breach in security and administrative security policies such as access procedure, employee transfer and excessive user access. As I assume the role of the chief security officer, database designer, database administrator, and chief applications designer this project is very important to the armed services and the Virgin Islands National Guard as we strive to provide global security.

Due in Week Nine: Write 3 to 4 paragraphs giving a bottom-line summary of the specific measureable goals and objectives of the security plan, which can be implemented to define optimal security architecture for the selected business scenario.

When choosing a framework in information security management we have to keep in mind different factors

Current State of Security that motivates your project (if your project is in response to new risk introduced by another initiative in the organization, then explain the business case that is motivating your project in response). This section will be supplemented by your risk assessment in M4. If your project is because of gaps that introduce risk in your current environment, provide a business case for why there are gaps and how your project is needed to address those gaps. It is likely that something happened over time to get to the state you have today (it could be evolving technology, increased business demands, etc.)

In this second part of article review, it will be mainly focused on the controllable part (Risk Management Framework, RMF).  The controllable part contains six different phases that work among the system development life cycle (SDLC).  The controllable phases provide the system developers a way to enable security controls, measure the risk level of data, and the system.  Combine both parts, it becomes a security framework to allow the system developers to go through the step-by-step process to gather useful system data,

The objective of this Business Intelligence (BI) plan is to encourage outsourcing and offshoring information security (IS) pursuits. The plan provides guidelines for successful implementation of IS systems intended to diminish security risks. The anticipated audiences of this BI plan are chief information officers (CIO) and chief information security officers (CISO). Senior management has an obligation to streamline information technology (IT) budgets, defend spending, and augment service delivery and efficiency (NASCIO, 2008). BI plans are usually comprised of (a) software, hardware, network, and associated infrastructure; (b) data analyses applications; and, (c) a portal or dashboard with which users interact (Hennen,

Every company needs some sort of security protection for their information system. According to Sam Musa, “The goal of information security is to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data.” Data breaches happen all the time and companies set up security systems to protect their data. There are three important factors needed to have a successful security system. The first, protecting and defending data through a cyber-security system. Second, operating and maintaining the systems set up to protect and defend data. Lastly, the investigation of data breaches and crimes that happen around the world will help adapt and improve security systems made to protect your data. The effects a cybercrime can incur are very costly and the steps needed to recover are discussed later. Cyber security is extremely important to Management Information Systems (MIS) because if you do not have security for your systems all your data could be stolen, lost, or worse shown to the public. In working in MIS, company data is all around you and it is your job to keep that data safe.

Today’s network security environment is increasing in complexity. Every organization, from SMBs to Enterprise organizations, is facing dramatic changes in IT requirements to accommodate mobile access needs, such as BYOD and IoT, as well as to combat the rising tide of malware. With over half a billion personal records lost or stolen in 2015 and an average of one new zero-day vulnerability discovered each week, the demands on IT security groups have never been higher.

Customer Needs- Security systems are required by people to0 keep their homes safe, it gives them a sense of safety for their personal belongings, when they are away from their home.

Designing a working plan for securing the organization s information assets begins by creating or validating an existing security blueprint for the implementation of needed security controls to protect the information assets.  A framework is the outline from which a more detailed blueprint evolves.  The blueprint is the basis for the design, selection, and implementation of all subsequent security policies, education and training programs, and technologies.  The blueprint provides scaleable, upgradeable, and comprehensive security for the coming years.  The blueprint is used to plan the tasks to be accomplished and the order in which
