1. What is Cyber Security?
2. How is Cyber Security related to information security?
3. How do I protect my company from malicious attacks?
The Four Types of Security Incidents
1. Natural Disaster
2. Malicious Attack (External Source)
3. Internal Attack
4. Malfunction and Unintentional Human Error
Information security - the "preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability
of information" (ISO/IEC 27001:2005);
"Cyber Security is to be free from danger or damage caused by disruption or fall-out of
ICT or abuse of ICT. The danger or the damage due to abuse, disruption or fall-out can
be comprised of a limitation of the availability and reliability of the ICT, breach of the
confidentiality of information stored in ICT or damage to the integrity of that
information.” (The National Cyber Security Strategy 2011, Dutch Ministry of Security
and Justice)

SABSA Overview

SABSA Meta Model

SABSA Matrix

SABSA Life Cycle
In the SABSA Lifecycle, the development of the contextual and conceptual layers is grouped into an activity called Strategy &
Planning. This is followed by an activity called Design, which embraces the design of the logical, physical, component, and
service management architectures. The third activity is Implement, followed by Manage & Measure. The significance of the
Manage & Measure activity is that once the system is operational, it is essential to measure actual performance against targets,
to manage any deviations observed, and to feed back operational experience into the iterative architectural development process.

SABSA integrated with
TOGAF

A Central Role for Requirements Management
Linking the Business Requirements (Needs) to the Security Services – which TOGAF does in the “Requirements
Management” Phase and SABSA does via the Business Attributes Profile. These Artefacts needs to be linked to ensure
traceability from Business Needs to Security Services.

Requirements Management in TOGAF
using SABSA Business Attribute Profiling
Business Attribute Profiling: This describes the level of
protection required for each business capability.
• Requirements Catalog: This stores the architecture
requirements of which security requirements form an integral
part. The Business Attribute Profile can form the basis for all
quality requirements (including security requirements) and
therefore has significant potential to fully transform the current
TOGAF requirements management approach.
•Business and Information System Service Catalogs: TOGAF
defines a business service catalog (in Phase B: Business
Architecture) and an information system service catalog (Phase
C: Information Systems Architecture). The creation of the
information system services in addition to the core concept of
business services is intended to allow more sophisticated
modelling of the service portfolio.
• The Security Service Catalog: As defined by the SABSA
Logical Layer, this will form an integral part of the TOGAF
Information System Service Catalogs.

Mapping of TOGAF to SABSA Strategy and
Planning Phase
As the SABSA phases extend beyond the core phases of the TOGAF ADM, the scoping provided by
the SABSA Domain Model extends beyond these core phases of TOGAF, both in terms of solution
design and system and process management during the operational lifecycle.

Overview of Security Related Artifacts in the TOGAF ADM

Phase B – Business Architecture – Security Artifacts
