Cyber Security Architecture and San Tsu's the Art of War

 Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is a valuable read for any HMS officer, and many of its quotes can be applied to the field of cyber security, particularly when it comes to Cyber Architecture Methodology.

There are several quotes from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu that can be applied to cyber security architecture methodologies:


1. "Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories" - This quote emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own strengths and weaknesses as well as those of the enemy. In the context of cyber security architecture, it is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your own systems as well as the potential threats and vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit.


2. "All warfare is based on deception" -  In the world of cyber security, attackers often use deception to gain access to systems or steal data. It is important for security architects to be aware of this and design their systems with deception-resistant measures, such as multifactor authentication and access controls.

3. "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting" - In the context of cyber security architecture, the goal is to prevent attackers from gaining access to your systems in the first place. This quote emphasizes the importance of designing systems with security in mind from the outset, rather than relying solely on reactive measures such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems.



4. "Opportunities multiply as they are seized" - This quote emphasizes the importance of being proactive and seizing opportunities when they arise. In the context of cyber security architecture, this means taking a proactive approach to identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities in your systems, rather than waiting for an attack to occur.


5. "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle" - In the context of cyber security architecture, the greatest victory is one in which an attack is.
