The publication series consists of 3 publications:
Foundations for Modern Defensible Architecture - The Foundations are a baseline set of secure design and architecture activities that prepare organisations to adapt to current and emerging cyber threats and challenges. They provide a cohesive, logical approach for designing, building, maintaining, updating and enhancing digital systems. Each of the Foundations represents an organisational goal or capability that facilitates a more efficient adoption of zero trust architecture and technologies.
Modern Defensible Architecture for Senior Decision Makers - This guidance assists senior decision makers in understanding the contemporary threat landscape and how modern defensible architecture can support organisations to defend against current and emerging threats. This guidance also present key factors and questions senior decision makers should consider before investing in and implementing modern defensible architecture within their organisation.
Investing in Modern Defensible Architecture - This guidance is written for ICT Managers and Enterprise Architects to support them in developing a modern defensible architecture investment roadmap to present to those responsible for making cyber security and information technology investment decisions. This guidance enables readers to make informed decisions on investment opportunities and design considerations and gaps, and identify appropriate people, skills and technologies.
"I am pleased that NÚKIB could contribute to the third co-sealed series of documents led by the Australian Signals Directorate and international partners that focus on modern approaches to secure architecture design. These documents represent an important step toward enabling organizations to practically and proactively design and build IT environments that minimize risks to their most critical systems. The fundamentals of modern defensible architecture, as well as recommendations for decision-making and investment planning, are consistent with the long-term security standards promoted by NÚKIB," said Lukáš Kintr, Director of NÚKIB.
