    Study Notes

    Asset Architecture & Asset Management

    • Asset Architecture consists of three layers: Logical, Physical, and Component
    • The SABSA Matrix is a design phase that has three layers: Logical, Physical, and Component
    • Logical Assets include Information Assets and Logical Asset Management, which involves Inventory of Information Assets, Information Model of the Business, and Knowledge Management
    • Physical Assets include Data Assets and Physical Asset Management, which involves Data Dictionary & Data Storage Devices Inventory, Change Management, and Platform & Data Storage Management
    • Component Assets include Products and Tools, including Data Repositories and Processors, and Component Management, which involves Product & Component Standards Management

    Competency Objectives for Section 12

    • Describe the characteristics and deliverables of the SABSA Architecture Design Phase layers
    • Explain the constructs and characteristics of assets at logical, physical, and component layers
    • Identify the role of SABSA techniques for security in Release & Knowledge Management
    • List and define possible start-up approaches to SABSA Enterprise Security Architecture

    Constructs & Characteristics of Assets

    • Data Assets are raw facts, figures, and events collected by observation and recording, and stored in a specific location
    • Information Assets are transformed data that is qualitative, and have context and meaning through organization and presentation
    • Asset Value in SABSA is achieved if it has certain properties such as Accuracy, Completeness, Timeliness, Availability, and Relevance

    Relationship With Conceptual Assets

    • Business Drivers for Security are derived from the Conceptual Attributes
    • The purpose of information is to contribute to business knowledge for decision-making
    • Attributes in the Conceptual Layer include Accuracy, Completeness, Timeliness, and Availability

    Risk & Policy Management Architecture

    • Policy Management Architecture includes Policy Publication & Compliance Management, Risk Management Practices, and Risk Data Management
    • Risk Management Practices include Risk Analysis Tools, Risk Registers, Risk Monitoring & Reporting, and Risk Metadata Management
    • Risk Data Management includes Risk Management Components & Standards, and Risk Procedure Management

    Competency Objectives for Section 13

    • List the requirements for architected controls in Risk & Policy Management Architecture
    • Explain the association of architected controls with SABSA Contextual & Conceptual layers
    • Describe the structure and objectives of the SABSA Assurance Framework
    • Explain the application of the SABSA Assurance Framework and its relationship with Risk Level### Risk and Policy Management Architecture
    • Business risks and opportunities are associated with logical domains, physical environment, and infrastructure domains
    • Risk level is linked to policy level and control level, which includes activity controls
    • Security services are managed at each layer, including security mechanisms and infrastructure and environment management
    • Risks and opportunities are managed by standards for tools and products, and security components and configurations

    Architectural Control Distribution Case Study

    • Business context involves interactions between government departments
    • Business drivers for security include information confidentiality and integrity in storage and transit
    • Business attributes include confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and assurance
    • Architecture controls and enablers include logical services, physical mechanisms, and component activities
    • Logical services include credentials issuance, session authentication, and message origin authentication
    • Physical mechanisms include SSL, VPNs, disk encryption, and file hashing
    • Component activities include user credential management, certificate management, and key management

    ORM Architecture Inheritance and Re-use

    • SABSA risk assessment establishes enterprise attributes, control and enablement objectives, and risk register
    • The risk assessment creates a traceable layer-map from business requirements to controls
    • The layer-map becomes the current-state SABSA enterprise security architecture
    • Subsequent SABSA risk assessments can re-use the existing architecture, inheriting controls and enablers from the current-state architecture
    • New attributes and performance thresholds required by subsequent projects can be enhanced and added to the existing architecture
