Welcome to SecurityArchitecture.com

This site exists to offer information and educational resources to those interested in learning about information security and privacy, with an emphasis on security architecture. There is no single definition for the term security architecture but for our purposes we use it to mean the collective components or layers of security that must be considered to provide information assurance. These include policy and security management, application security, data security, platform security, network and perimeter security, physical security, and user security.

The information on this site is arranged to facilitate learning, using both materials provided by SecurityArchitecture.com and external sources of information. The site also features our opinions and perspectives on topics of interest related to security, including our blog. You can also follow us on Twitter . We welcome feedback on the site and comments or questions regarding information you see here.

If you'd like to get a feel for some of the topics we address, you can hear some ideas direct from our founder, Stephen Gantz, in the short video available on YouTube and embedded here. In this video he offers some insights into how public and commercial organizations can address some current information security challenges.
