In today’s digital landscape, where cyber threats have evolved from minor inconveniences to potentially catastrophic events, organizations are seeking more effective approaches to risk management. With the average data breach now costing $4.88 million, siloed security strategies are no longer sufficient.
Nedscaper’s Cyber Security Researcher Nick Nieuwenhuis has uncovered valuable insights on bridging the gap between Cyber Security and Enterprise Architecture – two disciplines that traditionally operate in isolation despite their complementary purposes. His research reveals both the obstacles and opportunities in this integration, providing a practical roadmap for organizations looking to strengthen their security posture.
“Enterprise Architects think in possibilities, while CS professionals think in limitations,” notes one research participant, highlighting the cultural differences that must be overcome for successful integration.
Why This Matters:
As regulatory requirements like NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act, and DORA continue to expand, organizations need comprehensive approaches that align security with broader business architecture. Nick’s research demonstrates how this integration can transform cyber risk management from a technical challenge to a strategic advantage.
