Summary
Throughout this chapter, we’ve attempted to provide you with information about why architecture exists, the value that it provides, and how it is (at a high level) normally practiced throughout enterprises. We’ve also tried to lay out some useful background information about what goes into being a cybersecurity architect.
Looking ahead, we will build on this to unpack the specific processes that architects use to do their work and walk through one approach and steps with you that you can use to do so yourself.
In the next chapter, we’ll explore governance and why it matters to the security architect; governance structures and their purpose; and learn to cascade from enterprise/mission goals to technology and security goals.
