Enterprise information security architecture a review of frameworks, methodology, and case studies

The use of enterprise architecture frameworks has become more common in the past five years within corporations as well as higher education. Only in the past two years has enterprise information security architecture been introduced as a subset of enterprise architecture aligning IT security with business strategy. This paper will review industry accepted enterprise information security architecture frameworks and methodology, its features, and how security is integrated within the features. As a case study, this paper will identify Oakland University's current security architecture, compare it to industry standards and best practices, and make recommendations to develop an ideal-world framework.
