Establishing a robust framework

NIST defines DiD as an “information security strategy integrating people, technology, and operations capabilities to establish variable barriers across multiple layers and missions of the organization” [1]. A comprehensive DiD strategy is forged at the convergence of an organization’s human resources, technological infrastructure, and operational practices. Throughout this chapter, we will dissect this convergence and outline essential principles that form the backbone of our framework.

A resilient security framework is crucial in safeguarding digital environments amid ever-evolving threats. This section delves into constructing an effective DiD strategy, amalgamating insights from risk-based security paradigms and the core tenets of DiD. The framework’s architecture weaves together administrative, physical, and technical controls, reinforcing the layers of defense across different domains. Anchored by principles of consistency...
