Cybersecurity Architecture ([ Ссылка ]), also known as Security Architecture or Network Security Architecture, describes the structure and behavior of an enterprise’s network security processes, information security systems, personnel, and organizational subunits, demonstrating their alignment with the company’s mission and strategic plans, according to NIST, a security-relevant model.

Many organizations know that traditional security measures such as antivirus software and firewalls are no match for determined adversaries. Still, they don’t know how to go about upgrading their present state of cyber security to harness the potency of modern-day cyber security strategies. They rightly suspect significant untapped potential exists to sharpen their cyber readiness, but they aren’t poised to actualize it. To change their status quo, Cybersecurity Network Architecture plans can be drawn up to redesign a company’s infrastructure by building security directly into the company’s network security architecture. A cyber security architecture framework is just one element of the system’s architecture. It’s designed and built to weave security into the fabric of an entire IT system.

Purpose of Cybersecurity Architecture
Data security architecture ensures that the network architecture and IT assets, including its most valuable data and critical applications, are fully protected against current cyber adversaries and fortified against future attack vectors, where possible. Just as a military commander needs to have a broad knowledge of different types of terrain, as well as geopolitical factors, and even the vulnerable points of his own forces to defend his homeland and its territory effectively, a cybersecurity architect needs to comprehensively understand network topologies and cyber attack surface vulnerabilities to effectively defend the corporate crown jewels, in this case being sensitive data and critical applications.

The surest way to build security into a corporate network is to employ the services of a cybersecurity architect. To fully defend sensitive data and critical business operations, a cybersecurity architect will thoroughly evaluate attack vectors and security vulnerabilities for different network topologies. The primary goal of a cybersecurity architect is to draft a security blueprint for an institution or company that ensures the goals outlined below.

Cybersecurity Architectural Frameworks
Property architects have codes and rules to work within, and security architects use existing guidelines to plan a blueprint for an enterprise. These are commonly referred to as ‘frameworks’. Cybersecurity frameworks are guidelines that security architects work with when designing, planning, and implementing security infrastructures. Frameworks are a consistent set of best practices and guidelines for implementing security architecture at different business levels. There are several international framework standards, each directed at meeting various needs. Also, some companies devise unique frameworks. What is crucial is that the framework chosen best addresses the company’s unique set of risk factors and regulatory requirements.
