Security Architecture in a Collaborative De-Perimeterised Environment: Factors of Success
Yulia Cherdantseva, OMER F. RANA, Jeremy Hilton · 2011
Security Architecture (SA) is concerned with such tasks as design, development and management of secure business information systems. These tasks are inherently complex and become several orders of magnitude more sophisticated in a Collaborative De-Perimeterised Environment (CDePE). Although significant research exists about the technical solutions that may be used in a CDePE, we believe there is an important gap in current literature in addressing the specifics of collaboration and de-perimeterisation at the stages of design and management of a SA. This paper discusses how a CDePE is addressed in the ISO/IEC 27000 series of standards and identifies ten factors, besides technical ones, that are important for the success of a SA. This paper emerged as a result of an analysis of the current state of the information security discipline and of the modern trends in the discipline.
