Strong cyber security begins at the earliest stages of a system’s lifecycle. Many vulnerabilities originate from decisions about system architecture made during design and deployment. By integrating security principles from the outset and applying them consistently, organisations can better manage risks and keep cyber security reliable and resilient. Building a proactive policy for system architecture and engineering based on structured principles can help ensure your systems are secure by design and remain protected over time.

Beltug’s strength lies in the sharing of knowledge between peers who are going through the same journeys.
Our member has (anonymously) shared its ‘Secure system architecture and engineering principles’ (Dutch only, available for Beltug members after login), based on best practices as well as NIST Special Publication 800-160 Volume 1.
The document provides system-level security principles you can use or adapt for the design and implementation of new systems, and to support security in existing systems. The principles cover security by design, minimising attack surfaces, modularity, defence in depth, Zero Trust Architecture and more. They are provided as a source of inspiration when creating your own policy.
Our warm thanks to this member for sharing their insights!
You, our members, form a solid knowledge bank and at Beltug we aim at building on that strength. Do you have tools/documents you use in your company that you can share with the other members?
