Security Architecture – How & Why
Security Architecture, or Enterprise Information security architecture, as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006, has been applied to many things and different areas, making a concrete definition of security architecture a difficult proposition.But having an architecture for the cyber security needs of an organization is important for many reasons, not least because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a much easier job, since we can now build on a, hopefully, solid foundation.Developing a security architecture is a daunting job for almost anyone, and in a company that has not had a cyber security program implemented before, the job becomes even harder.The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in place cannot be overstated!The challenge here is that a security architecture is not something that can stand alone, it absolutely must be aligned with the business in which it is being implemented. This book emphasizes the importance, and the benefits, of having a security architecture in place.The book will be aligned with most of the sub-frameworks in the general framework called SABSA, or Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture.SABSA is comprised of several individual frameworks and there are several certifications that you can take in SABSA.Aside from getting a validation of your skills, SABSA as a framework focuses on aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its strategy.Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with one or more of the components in SABSA, the components will be described along with the introduction to each of the chapters.

What is the difference between biomorphic architecture and sculptural architecture?
Biomorphic architecture is characterized by organic, flowing forms that are inspired by natural shapes and patterns, often resembling plants, animals, or other natural elements. This type of architecture often incorporates curves, asymmetry, and fluid lines to create a sense of movement and dynamism. On the other hand, sculptural architecture focuses on creating bold, expressive forms that are often abstract and geometric in nature. This type of architecture often emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow to create dramatic visual effects, and it may incorporate sharp angles, clean lines, and strong volumes. While both biomorphic and sculptural architecture prioritize innovative and unconventional forms, biomorphic architecture draws inspiration from nature, while sculptural architecture focuses on creating striking, artistic shapes.
