Architected for Security
CEM for Security: by Design and Default
The purpose of a Security Strategy is to ensure the Business Strategy is proactively resilient to any significant threat to its objectives.
Enterprise Security Architecture is the manifestation of this security strategy.
It permeates across all aspects of business and IT architecture where vulnerabilities could be exploited to pose a business risk.
In today’s challenging landscape, the ability to maintain architecture in dynamic alignment with Business Strategy, and demonstrate that ability, is becoming increasingly important.
Our Approach
Vision to Operation through Modelling and Automation
Effective communication of current and alternative architectures is essential to good decision-making, yet traditional documentation methods are ill-suited to the agility, scale and sheer complexity of describing the conceptual landscape.
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) overcomes this by collaboration around a common model from which a coherent set of stakeholder-oriented viewpoints can be generated on demand.
More significantly, the adoption of a formal modelling notation enables automation: bringing benefits such as productivity, validation, analysis and simulation to the architectural practice.
Business Benefits
Model-Driven Enterprise Security Architecture
The ability to overlay the security perspective onto regular EA models, offers clear advantages over traditional approaches:
Agility: Quickly adapt your security posture to new threats or regulatory changes with scenario modelling and automated analysis.
Cost-Reduction: Reduce operational costs using powerful model editing and validation tools and automated report generation.
Maintainability: Simplified updates and shortened publication cycles from generating all stakeholder documentation from a single source.
High-Assurance: Raise confidence in your system’s true security posture with actionable insights and verifiable evidence.
About Us
Specialists in Enterprise Security Architecture
Cyber Enterprise Modelling is a niche consultancy specialising in the application of model-driven techniques to security architecture: redefining both how it is performed and what it is capable of.
We help our clients establish seamless, cost-effective security at the core of their architecture development methodology.
Either as as a general system description or to address a specific need, our models generate actionable insights that proactively address vulnerabilities and demonstrate evidence-based compliance with regulations and industry standards.
Why Choose CEM?
CEM is a leading exponent of integrating the security architecture perspective in standard ArchiMate.
Our expertise is based on many years of practice in the SABSA methodology and our instrumental role in the development and application of the Security Overlay for ArchiMate that is published both as a SABSA Institute White Paper and an Open Group Guide.
We have built up an extensive library of pre-modelled control frameworks and reference architectures that can get your security architecture off to a flying start.
