Overview Application-Centric Security Architecture is a cybersecurity approach that prioritizes securing applications by embedding security controls directly within the application environment. It focuses on protecting application data, workflows, and user…

Overview The Assume Breach strategy is a cybersecurity approach that operates under the premise that an adversary has already penetrated the network or system. It emphasizes proactive detection, containment, and…

Overview Blast radius reduction is a cybersecurity defensive strategy aimed at limiting the scope and impact of a security breach or failure within a system. By segmenting and isolating components,…

Overview Cloud-native security architecture is a cybersecurity approach designed to protect applications and data built and deployed within cloud environments using native cloud services and microservices principles. It integrates security…

Overview Data-Centric Security Architecture is a cybersecurity approach that prioritizes the protection of data itself rather than focusing solely on the surrounding infrastructure or network. It emphasizes securing data throughout…

Overview Deception-Enabled Architecture is a cybersecurity defensive strategy that uses decoys, traps, and misleading information to detect, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats. It enhances threat visibility by diverting attackers away…

Overview Defense in Depth is a cybersecurity strategy that employs multiple layers of security controls and measures to protect information systems. Its role is to create redundancy so that if…

Overview Fail-safe defaults is a cybersecurity principle that ensures systems are configured to deny access by default and only grant permissions explicitly. This approach minimizes the risk of unauthorized access…

Overview Hybrid Security Architecture Patterns combine multiple security models and technologies to create a cohesive defense strategy. They integrate on-premises and cloud security controls to address diverse threat landscapes and…

Overview Identity-Centric Security Architecture is a cybersecurity approach that prioritizes the management and protection of digital identities as the foundation for securing access to resources. It shifts the security focus…

Overview Immutable Infrastructure Strategy is a defensive approach in cybersecurity where infrastructure components are never modified after deployment. Instead, any changes or updates are implemented by replacing the entire component,…

Overview Layered Security Architecture is a defensive strategy that employs multiple, overlapping security controls to protect information systems. It aims to create a comprehensive security posture by addressing vulnerabilities at…

Overview Least Privilege Architecture is a cybersecurity principle and design approach that restricts user, system, and application access rights to the minimum necessary to perform their functions. It plays a…

Overview Network-Centric Security Architecture is a cybersecurity approach that focuses on securing the network as the primary perimeter for defense. It emphasizes the integration of security controls and policies directly…

Overview Privacy-by-Design Architecture is a proactive cybersecurity approach that integrates privacy considerations into the design and operation of IT systems, networks, and business practices. It aims to embed privacy protections…

Overview Redundancy and fault isolation are defensive strategies used in cybersecurity to enhance system reliability and availability by minimizing the impact of component failures. These practices ensure continuous operation and…

Overview Resilience-Oriented Architecture (ROA) is a cybersecurity design approach focused on ensuring systems can continue operating and recover quickly in the face of attacks, failures, or unexpected disruptions. It emphasizes…

Overview Secure by Design is a cybersecurity approach that emphasizes building security into systems from the earliest stages of development. It aims to proactively address vulnerabilities and reduce risks by…

Overview Secure multi-tenancy design is a cybersecurity practice that ensures multiple tenants or customers can share computing resources securely within a single environment. It aims to isolate tenant data and…

Overview Security zoning models are a defensive strategy used to segment and isolate different parts of an information system or network based on their security requirements. This approach helps to…
