This paper outlines the reasons why next-generation architecture is needed that can protect technology, systems, networks, and data in a dynamic risk environment. Although the Internet is integral to the flow of information across the globe and national boundaries, it was not built for the highly sensitive, critical data we see today. Architecture throughout protocol and software application stacks is not set up to face the cybersecurity issues. The forward-facing and strategic approach introduced here promotes an architecture inherently resilient to cybersecurity threats. This approach would also address the needs for 6G technologies, Web X.0, Metaverse, and any evolutionary technologies envisioned.
