060 - Building Defensible Architecture: Bridging Business and Cyber Security

Cyber security architecture is about far more than technology, it’s about designing resilient systems that align people, process, and business strategy. In this episode, host Bek Cheb sits down with Bruce Large to unpack what security architecture actually means, why “defensible architecture” matters, and how frameworks like SABSA help organisations connect high-level risk strategy with real-world implementation. Bruce shares practical insights into balancing technical detail with broader organisational goals, the importance of service management, and why good architecture is often about asking the right questions rather than having all the answers. If you’re curious about how resilient systems are built, this episode offers an accessible look into the thinking behind modern security design.
