Information Security Strategy

In the few encounter I have with C-level executives, I find that most of information security investments (both engineering and its operations) are done with very little strategy.  My attempt here is to target C-level executives with a model and a set of standards with nomenclature to enable strategic decision making.  It is important to note that this strategy will require some fine tuning by project managers, solutions architects and others for each organization.  The focus here is to ensure The CEO, CIO, CISO and CTO can have the right toolkits and an abstract model to drive the information security needed for a mid to large enterprise.

"Strategy a deliberate, conscious set of guidelines that determines decisions into the future".

- adopted from "Patterns in Strategy Formation" Henry Mintzberg 

Why choose an Enterprise Architect?

As one who has come from electrical and computer engineering with experience building infrastructure from instrumentation to Information Technology, I find it hard to explina to people what I actually do as an Enterprise Architect.  As you can guess there are major misunderstandings when people hear the word "Architect" or "Architecture."
