Enterprise Security Architecture
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Enterprise Security Architecture (ID: CSD4128)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2005)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Late in 2003 a group of NAC members began meeting the challenge of describing a common framework that would speed the process of developing enterprise security architectures for this complex environment and create the governance foundation for sustaining it into the future. How does one simplify the process of governing security by exclusion (keeping the bad guys out) and security by inclusion (allowing, and encouraging legitimate users to come in)? NAC's premise is that policy-driven security architecture is essential in order to simplify management of this increasingly complex environment. As the Corporate Governance Task Force Report states, "The road to information security goes through corporate governance." At the heart of governance are policy definition, implementation, and enforcement. To simplify security management, there must be a direct linkage between governance and the security architecture itself—in other words, policy-driven security architecture.

Risk Perception and Trusted Computer Systems: Is Open Source Software Really More Secure than Proprietary Software?
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Risk Perception and Trusted Computer Systems: Is Open Source Software Really More Secure than Proprietary Software? (ID: CSD3402)
Author(s):David L. Wilson (Purdue University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:While Open Source software is routinely described as "more secure" than commercial off the shelf software, all available evidence suggests that there is little difference in the level of trust that should be accorded either type of system. The paper also relies on an analysis using risk perception theory to explain why Open Source is widely believed to be "more secure" than other types of software.
