Jericho Forum® Commandments

The Jericho Forum® Commandments define the design principles that must be observed when architecting systems for secure operation in de-perimeterized environments. These design principles are grouped within convenient information security areas. The Commandments specifically address those areas and issues of security design principles that are necessary to assure secure de-perimeterized IT operations; they do not include foundation security principles which apply in all IT environments. These Commandments not only provide essential guidance to system architects and designers, but also serve as a benchmark by which the effectiveness of IT security design concepts, solutions, standards, and system architectures can be assessed and measured.
