A network security policy (NSP) is a generic document that outlines rules for computer network access, determines how policies are enforced and lays out some of the basic architecture of the company security/ network security environment. [1] The document itself is usually several pages long and written by a committee.
Argus – the Audit Record Generation and Utilization System is the first implementation of network flow monitoring, and is an ongoing open source network flow monitor project. Started by Carter Bullard in 1984 at Georgia Tech, and developed for cyber security at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1990s, Argus has been an important ...
Illustration of the 4+1 Architectural View Model. 4+1 is a view model used for "describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the use of multiple, concurrent views". [1] The views are used to describe the system from the viewpoint of different stakeholders, such as end-users, developers, system engineers, and project managers.
Design overview: As the project proceeds, the need is to provide an overview of how the various sub-systems and components of the system fit together. In both cases, the high-level design should be a complete view of the entire system, breaking it down into smaller parts that are more easily understood.
The goal of a security assessment (also known as a security audit, security review, or network assessment [1]), is to ensure that necessary security controls are integrated into the design and implementation of a project. A properly completed security assessment should provide documentation outlining any security gaps between a project design ...
Example of a high-level systems architecture for a computer. A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system. [1] An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.

A technical implementation defines whether a computer system is secure or insecure. These formal policy models can be categorized into the core security principles of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. For example, the Bell-La Padula model is a confidentiality policy model, whereas the Biba model is an integrity policy model. [1]
