Information Assurance for Enterprise Engineering
J. Heaney, Duane W. Hybertson, Susan Chapin, Terry B. Bollinger, Douglas Williams · 2002
This paper describes the results to date of a research effort to apply a pattern approach to the problem of addressing information assurance (IA) in enterprise-level information engineering. IA is not effectively included in Enterprise Architectures today, largely because there is no compendium of knowledge immediately useful to enterprise engineers who are not IA specialists. The goal of this research project is to capture IA best practices from the policy level through implementation levels in a representation accessible to enterprise architects and engineers. We are using the successful paradigm of patterns to capture this best practice knowledge as well as the understanding of how and where it fits within the context of an enterprise architecture framework.
