Presentations
Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA) - An Overview
This presentation provides an extensive overview of the current state of Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA). Various definitions, existing models, and components are presented along with a discussion of the relationships between the ESA and the Technical Security Architecture (TSA). Federal military, federal civilian and non-federal models will be discussed.

Technical Security Architecture (TSA) - Tying ESA to Operations
A complete Security Architecture program should contain both enterprise-level and system-level guidance. Ideally the enterprise-level guidance is part of the Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA) process and system-level guidance is part of a Technical Security Architecture (TSA) program. However, dealing with numerous guidance sources and different ESA/TSA frameworks can be challenging. The goal is to establish a strong TSA program that is both seamless to the ESA and part of a complete operations methodology.

This briefing describes the basic concepts behind an effective TSA program, how it compliments and reinforces an ESA program, and an example of a TSA framework designed to tie into both the ESA and operations frameworks
