== What is Open Security Architecture (OSA) Framework? ==

'''Open Security Architecture (OSA)''' is a framework for designing and implementing security systems. It was developed by the Open Group, an industry consortium that promotes the use of open standards.

OSA is based on the idea that security should be an integral part of an organization's business processes and not an afterthought. It is designed to help organizations understand the threats they face and design security systems that are tailored to their specific needs.

OSA consists of four main components:
*Security objectives: These are the goals that the organization wants to achieve with its security system.
*Security requirements: These are the specific requirements that the organization has for its security system.
*Security architecture: This is the design of the security system, including the technologies and processes that will be used to implement it.
*Security evaluation: This is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the security system and making changes as needed.

OSA is intended to be a flexible and adaptable framework, allowing organizations to design security systems that meet their specific needs. It is often used in conjunction with other security frameworks, such as SABSA, to provide a comprehensive approach to security.
