| Security Architecture Project Home Steve Zenone 9-5408 General Overview Ensuring appropriate IT security measures to support business processes and to protect information assets is critical to the reliable functioning of UCSC.

The goal of the Security Architecture project is to design and implement IT security controls that will significantly reduce UCSC's IT Infrastructure's exposure and risk. Policies and guidelines provided by the Security Assessment project will influence the decisions made by the Security Architecture project. Three phases comprise the initial stage of the Security Architecture:
