QuestionQ38
VerifiedIntroduction to Applying the ADMYour role is to serve as an Enterprise Architect, reporting to the Chief Enterprise Architect, at a technology company. The company provides staff, as well as cloud-based services, for many government agencies.
The company uses the TOGAF standard as the method and guiding framework for its Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) sponsors the activity. The practice follows an iterative approach to architecture development. This has enabled the decision makers to gain valuable insights into the different aspects of the business.
The nature of the business means that the data and information stored on the company systems is the company’s major asset and is highly confidential. The company employees work remotely and require constant access to the company systems, which is done by the public infrastructure. They use message encryption, secure internet connections using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and other standard security measures. The company has provided computer security awareness training for all its staff.
The Chief Security Officer (CSO) has observed an increase in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on companies with a similar profile. The CSO understands that even with thorough preparation, a major attack could stop employees from being able to do their jobs. This could lead to a large financial loss, damage to the company’s reputation with customers, and employees being unable to work.
A risk assessment has been completed, and the company has looked for cyber insurance that covers such attacks. The price for this insurance is very high. The CTO has decided not to get cyber insurance to cover such attacks.
You have been asked to outline the steps you would take to reinforce the current architecture and improve data protection.
