Our consortium partners have provided strategic and engineering support over the past several years for enterprise architecture and solutions guidance on a variety of Cyber Security-related projects for the United States Air Force.
One of the key considerations for these efforts has been the ability to help the client manage extremely complex heterogeneous environments and organizations that also happen to be geographically distributed across the globe. The diagram below illustrates how innovation and security management can be coordinated to constantly refresh organizational capabilities. Innovation starts by understanding more than the narrow set of expectations involved with securing a network perimeter - one must recognize the following factors also:
- The organizational mission or missions
- The user communities
- The unique threats directed at the mission or organizations in question

Understanding organizational relationships is a key to developing effective Cyber Security solution.
