​WHO?: The Zilienz LLC founder developed guiding principles of the AEKSyS Framework between 1997 and 2000 while designing IT Services / IT Assets Management (ITSM/ITAM) frameworks for various  Canadian government Departments
WHAT?: an acronym / abbreviation which represents:
| Antifragile | Enterprise | Kybernetika | Syntegrity | Security |
describing the core elements of the AEKSyS Framework
WHEN?: In 2012, a loosely-connected group of digital security / privacy risk & controls (DSPRC) specialists commenced collaboratively providing ad hoc consulting services

WHERE?

| WHY? | HOW? |

Principals provided consulting services to the following information management systems / technology (ISM/IT) industry verticals:

• health information technology / management (HIT/HIMS)
• financial management services (FMSIS)
• aerospace (AeroIS)
• telecommunications / telephone services (TelcoIS)
• architecture / engineering / construction & facilities management (AECFMIS)​

LEXICON {AEKSyS}:​

•  'A': antifragile = a property of systems which increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures; developed from a concept originated and codified by Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb in 2009
• 'E': enterprise = a unit of economic organization / systematic purposeful activity, ie: a business organization
• 'K': kybernetica = "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine", as defined by Norbert Wiener in 1948​
• ​'Sy': syntegrity = a formal model presented by British theorist Stafford Beer in his work on management cybernetics, ie: the science of large, complex, probabilistic systems.  Beer's word 'syntegrity' is a portmanteau of the following words:

WHY?: In 2021, the principals agreed to better serve their customer base by formalizing their handshake agreement, initiating an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) corporation [where the stock is held 'In Trust' for the benefit of the employees]
HOW?: the firm's purpose is to provide ISM/IT consulting services to those industry verticals to which they have traditionally provided such services, while concurrently pursuing new and innovative verticals, sectors, and sub-sectors

LEXICON {AEKSyS} - cont

1. ​ 'synergistic' [relating to the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects]; and,
2. 'tensegrity' [itself a portmanteau of 'tensional integrity', a design principle - coined by Buckminster Fuller in 1960s - applicable when a discontinuous set of compression elements is opposed and balanced by a continuous tensile force, thereby creating an internal prestress which stabilizes the entire structure, ie: puzzling physics structures apparently defying the very laws of gravity]

• 'S': security = the state of being free from danger or threat, whether: data / information (infosec); physical (physec); cyber (cybersec), or operations (opsec).​

KEY WORDS:
| antifragile | cybernetics | cybersec | enterprise | infosec | integrity | | kybernetica | opsec | physec | resilience | risk | synergy | syntegrity | | tension | viable enterprise |
