Episode 8 of the IT Security Pubcast. IT Security Architecture is an often poorly understood component of any IT Security strategy. In this episode of the Pubcast we interview Malcolm MacDonald, the Chief Architect at Airports South Africa to discuss it, and the pitfalls that befall the inexperienced architect.IT security Architecture is a complex discipline. The architect has to address all aspects of the IT security problem, integrating contextual, conceptual, logical and physical architectures into one seamless whole. Architects have to both derive architectures and assist designers and implementers to ensure that new projects conform. Often architectures fail through trying to achieve the entire vision without using appropriate small steps, not aligning themselves with business objectives, or not making IT aware of their existence; and Security Architectures are more prone to these problems than most. Malcolm MacDonald, the Chief Architect at Airports South Africa came into the studio to discuss these issues and to share his views on how one makes security Architectures work. |
