Protection of enterprise resources: A novel security framework

In today's growing technological world, Information Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in the efficient functioning of an enterprise. The data and information are the most important resources of the organization. The security of organization resources is a major problem. In this paper, our contribution is twofold, firstly we investigate and analyze the different security architectures of important organization such as online banking, E-government, higher education sector, E-health, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing etc. Secondly, we propose a universal security framework for an enterprise for the protection of its resources. We divide the security framework into three layers, perimeter security layer, network security layer and internal security layer. With this categorization, we aim to provide an easy and concise view of the design details of an enterprise security architecture.
