10.6 Commentary
The commercial building architect anticipates the business uses of the office build-
ing; the residential architect anticipates the uses of the house: number of children,
number of bedrooms, size of play area, traffic patterns within the house, use of nat-
ural light, energy efficiency, etc. The enterprise architect discerns the business need
and performance requirements and then aligns technical services and mechanisms
to achieve them. The security architect anticipates risks, threats, and vulnerabilities
to mission integrity, and safeguards to minimize business risk with the right har-
mony of security (restrictions) and empowerment (employee freedom to act) and
budget. The enterprise architect may use an EA framework and model to produce
and execute on an enterprise architecture. The IA architect uses IA
2
to identify,
enumerate, articulate, and address business risk.
