Security Architecture
Security Architecture is a structured framework that defines how security controls and measures are integrated into an organization's IT infrastructure, applications, and processes to protect assets from threats. It involves designing and implementing security principles, policies, and technologies to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data. This discipline bridges business objectives with technical security requirements through systematic planning and risk management.
Developers should learn Security Architecture to build secure-by-design systems, especially when developing applications handling sensitive data (e.g., financial, healthcare, or personal information) or operating in regulated industries. It is crucial for roles involving system design, cloud migration, or compliance with standards like GDPR or ISO 27001, as it helps prevent breaches, reduce vulnerabilities, and align security with business goals.
