ABSTRACT
The component security architecture is the tradesman’s view of life – the specialised tools and product components of your enterprise security architecture. This chapter looks at a selection of these components but stops short of discussing any specific brand or vendor. This is because (1) it is not appropriate to comment on one versus another here and (2) the marketplace changes so rapidly that the authors have focused on writing as timelessly as possible by sticking to generic principles. To find specific tools and products you must do your own research. As before, the chapter structure follows the cells in the Security Architecture Matrix at this layer, although at this level there is little to say on most of the cells.
