Explore the Security Reference Model (SRM) within the FEAF, crafted by ex-McKinsey and Big 4 consultants. Enhance risk management and compliance strategies. FEAF: Security Reference Model (SRM) is a 38-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) denotes management best practice for lining up business and technology resources to realize strategic results, expand upon Organizational Performance and steer departments to achieve their core missions more successfully.
Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF) assists any agency of the Federal government achieve this through documentation and information that conveys a summarized outlook of an enterprise at various tiers of scope and detail.
This presentation discusses 1 of the 6 reference models of the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework—the Security Reference Model (SRM).
The slide deck explains SRM's Risk Reduction approach, Risk Management Framework, Touchpoints with Other Reference Models, Design Compliance for Architectural Layers, SRM structure, and SRM Controls & Metrics.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
The Security Reference Model (SRM) is integral to the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), providing a structured approach to managing and mitigating security risks across all layers of an organization. This PPT outlines the SRM's comprehensive methodology, including its alignment with regulatory requirements and its integration with other reference models within the FEAF. The SRM's focus on risk reduction, compliance, and metrics ensures that security measures are not only implemented, but also continuously monitored and improved.
The presentation delves into the SRM's design compliance for architectural layers, detailing how standards and policies are applied at the enterprise, segment, and system levels. It emphasizes the importance of utilizing existing controls and aligning them with organizational objectives to create a robust security posture. The document also highlights the role of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) in embedding security processes into the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring that security considerations are addressed at every stage of system development and operation.
Additionally, the SRM's controls and metrics section provides valuable insights into measuring the effectiveness of security controls and their impact on risk reduction. It discusses the need for a balanced approach to applying controls and the importance of performance-based metrics in evaluating security outcomes. The document includes practical templates and examples to help organizations implement and tailor the SRM to their specific needs, making it a valuable resource for any agency looking to enhance its security architecture.
This PPT slide outlines a framework for consolidating controls across an organization to manage risk effectively. It integrates controls both vertically and horizontally, employing a layered approach to system deployments. Key phases include: Plan, Prepare, Operate, Monitor, Improve, and Effectiveness & Measure.
In the "Plan" phase, activities involve defining requirements, designing infrastructure, and preparing staff to establish a solid foundation for control mechanisms. The "Operate" phase focuses on tracking performance and identifying deviations through activities like scoring and managing operations.
The "Effectiveness & Measure" phase emphasizes assessing the value proposition and systematically addressing problems, allowing organizations to prioritize issues for informed decision-making. This integrated approach fosters continuous risk management and enhances operational resilience.
This PPT slide outlines a framework for assessing security metrics maturity, categorizing it into 4 areas: Processes, Operating Procedures, Data Availability, and Collection Automation. Each area progresses from "Non-existent" to "Full," indicating increasing sophistication in security management. For example, Processes can range from "Evolving," where processes are being defined, to "Well established," where they are documented and operational. Operating Procedures transition from "Being defined" to "Institutionalized," reflecting formalization as maturity increases. Data Availability improves from "Can be collected" to "Available," while Collection Automation evolves from "Low" to "High." This structured approach aligns security metrics with IT security goals and business impact, emphasizing the importance of maturity in enhancing security posture.
The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a structured six-step cycle designed to enhance organizational risk management. The first step involves categorizing information systems, which establishes a foundation for selecting and implementing security controls, assessing their effectiveness, authorizing systems, and continuously monitoring controls. Each step is interconnected, creating a repeatable process that allows for necessary adjustments. The RMF incorporates organizational inputs such as laws, policy directives, strategic goals, and supply chain considerations, ensuring alignment with broader objectives and compliance requirements. Key components include architecture reference models and information system boundaries, essential for understanding the context of risk management processes. The RMF encourages organizations to view risk management as an ongoing process, vital for enhancing strategies and ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
This PPT slide outlines the critical role of controls in managing risks within an organizational framework. It illustrates the interaction between threat sources, attack vectors, assets, and vulnerabilities in a risk ecosystem. The "Bad guys" and "Good guys" dichotomy highlights contrasting forces, while the "Threat source" and "Attack vector" sections identify risk origins and manifestations. Key components of risk—threat, impact, and risk management—are defined to understand the overall risk profile. Risk assessment and management strategies include training, technical controls, and ongoing monitoring, essential for effective incident response. Incident management is referenced with NIST categories, suggesting a structured approach. Methods to address risks encompass risk mitigation, avoidance, transfer, and acceptance, emphasizing proactive measures and continuous monitoring to safeguard assets.
The Security Reference Model (SRM) framework categorizes security architecture into 3 areas: Purpose, Risk, and Controls. The "Purpose" section emphasizes understanding regulatory conditions, risk profiles, and risk assessment processes for comprehensive security strategy development. The "Risk" area focuses on identifying and mitigating threats through risk assessment processes, impact mitigation strategies, and compliance measures, highlighting proactive risk management. The "Controls" category outlines measures to enforce security policies, establishing a robust security framework to manage identified risks. By addressing these areas, organizations can enhance their IT security posture, ensure compliance, and foster a culture of security awareness.
