Cybersecurity architects work in tandem with stakeholders to create a "vision" for security in the organization and create designs that are implementable, goal-based, and in keeping with the organization's governance strategy.Within this book, you'll learn the fundamentals of cybersecurity architecture as a practical discipline. These fundamentals are evergreen approaches that, once mastered, can be applied and adapted to new and emerging technologies like AI and ML. You'll learn how to address and mitigate risks, how to design secure solutions in a purposeful and repeatable way, how to communicate with others about security designs, and how to bring designs to fruition. This book outlines strategies to help you work with execution teams to make your vision a reality, along with ways to keep designs relevant over time. As you progress, you'll also learn about recognized frameworks for building robust designs and strategies you can adopt to create your own designs.When you complete this book, you will have the foundational skills required to architect infrastructure, cloud, AI, and application solutions for today and well into the future with robust security components for your organization.What you will learnExplore ways to create your own architectures and analyze those from othersUnderstand strategies for creating architectures for environments and applicationsDiscover approaches to documentation using repeatable approaches and toolsDelve into communication techniques for designs, goals, and requirementsFocus on implementation strategies for designs that help reduce riskBecome well-versed with methods to apply architectural discipline to your organization.Who this book is forThe primary audience includes those who are new to cybersecurity architecture, as well as seasoned architects interested in honing their skills. However, anyone involved in the process of implementing, planning, operating, or maintaining cybersecurity in an organization can benefit from this book. This includes security practitioners, systems auditors, and (to a lesser extent) software developers invested in keeping their organizations secure.
