Enterprise Security Architecture

Abstract An organization's information is rapidly becoming its most valuable asset. In addition, in order to be successful in today's global economy, organizations must conduct business electronically. Suppliers, vendors, business partners, and customers are being connected to the organization's internal networks daily. With these advances in technology and business methods, risks are introduced on a wider scale and at a quicker pace than ever before. One of the major challenges an organization faces is to find and employ an effective and proven model for information security. Not only does this model have to fit the organization's business, it must also address many different facets: people, policy, and technology.
