Frameworks, guidance, and publications for practical security architecture

Resource

Models and Frameworks

A curated library of ontologies, frameworks, presentations, and supporting diagram bundles from the original Models and Other Madness section.

What’s inside

01

Primary source material, summaries, and references kept together

02

Downloads and supporting artefacts surfaced close to the content

03

Long-form guidance laid out for practical reading rather than promotion

Useful tools and models

This page modernises the original “Models and Other Madness” section into one resource hub.

Included in this collection

Security Services Ontology / ERD

A SABSA-rooted reference architecture that maps business drivers, security domains, controls, and governance processes into a connected ontology.

Vulnerability Management Frameworks

Framework material that brings together industry standards, tooling, secure development, endpoint hardening, cyber threat intelligence, and operational learning.

Threat Intelligence Service Framework

A model focused on threat intelligence management, predictive analysis, threat hunting, adversary profiling, exploit intelligence, and cross-organisational sharing.

Presentation library

This section also preserves downloadable presentations from the original site, including:

  • What Good Looks Like - Metrics
  • Herding Cats in a DevSecOps World
  • Business-Driven Cloud Architecture

What ties them together

The common thread is practical architecture work. These are not abstract assets; they are frameworks and decks meant to be reused in workshops, design conversations, delivery planning, and architecture communication.
