A secure enterprise architecture focused on security and technology-transformation (SEAST)

Abstract

Sustainable and flexible development of an organizational business and achievement of current and future goals of an organization depends on business processes, technologies and information systems. In order to address these issues, there have been a number of enterprise architectures proposed in the literature. Unfortunately, many of the existing architectures pay little attention to security and sustainability. To create an accelerated and flexible IT infrastructure, it is needed to align IT and organizational business demands. Here, we proposed an enterprise architecture which is sustainable, secure and convivial to new technology for a developing or developed organizations. It is a robust and easily understandable architecture which includes single source identification system and a knowledge base with sustainable technology-transformation capabilities. This architecture is based on concepts, modeling and processes which can be used as the framework for both business and IT professionals. The proposed architecture includes kernel based security architecture with risk, incident and audit management systems. It is a high performing architecture which includes all the essential features of modern enterprise architecture (EA) enhanced with security and sustainability.
