Security Architecture & Design
Planning, developing, and implementing security controls to protect systems and applications.
The challenge
Aligning Security with Complex IT Architectures
As organisations embrace cloud, hybrid, and agile technologies, the
challenge is not just protecting digital assets, it’s embedding security into
every layer of the enterprise architecture.
Without it, systems remain
fragmented, inconsistent, and vulnerable to attack. For example, in cloud-
first and hybrid environments, security architecture must address
authorised access, continuous monitoring, and regulatory
compliance while supporting agility and scalability.
