Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the areas of design and architecture that go into the overall security strategy. This included the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architecture for building that foundational architectural strategy. We also discussed the need to understand business goals to align them with your security strategy. We discussed the solutions and services that can be used for the defense-in-depth security strategy. We also discussed the steps in building a resilient security architecture. This included the integration of hybrid, multi-cloud, and multi-tenant infrastructures, and technical governance for traffic filtering and network segmentation. These strategies are the foundation of the concepts of cybersecurity architecture and a zero-trust methodology.
The next chapter will discuss the strategies for designing the architecture for security operations.
