Enterprise-oriented cybersecurity management

Information technology is widely used in processes vital to enterprises. Therefore, IT systems must meet at least the same level of security as required from the business processes supported by these systems. In this paper, we present a view on cybersecurity management as an enterprise-centered process, and we advocate the use of enterprise architecture in security management. Activities such as risk assessment, selection of security controls, as well as their deployment and monitoring should be carried out as a part of enterprise architecture activity. A set of useful frameworks and tools is presented and discussed.
