Cyber by Design

Design secure, resilient and future-ready digital architectures from the ground up

Technical cyber consulting

Cyber by Design embeds cybersecurity from the earliest stages of architecture and system design, enabling secure, Zero Trust-aligned digital infrastructures across cloud, IT and OT environments.

Key benefits

Embed security from design, protect all IT layers and prepare for Zero Trust and post-quantum resilience.

Secure by design approach

Embed cybersecurity from day one by integrating security controls into architecture and system design instead of adding them later. Reduce attack surface, improve consistency and avoid costly redesigns.
End-to-end protection

Protect identities, networks, applications, endpoints, cloud and OT environments with consistent controls aligned to a unified architecture and governance model.
Zero Trust by design

Apply Zero Trust principles across environments: no user, device or application is trusted by default, and every access to resources is verified, regardless of location or network.
Post-quantum resilience

Assess cryptographic assets, identify quantum vulnerable algorithms and define a post-quantum migration roadmap to maintain resilience as new threats emerge.
Structured roadmap

Move from your current posture to a target secure by design architecture through assessments, risk analysis, architectural gap identification and guided implementation.
Expert consulting

Leverage Thales expertise in secure architectures, Zero Trust and post-quantum readiness to structure and support your cybersecurity initiatives.

What is Cyber by Design?

Cyber by Design embeds cybersecurity from the earliest stages of architecture and system design instead of adding controls afterwards. It protects cloud, networks, OT, identities, applications and endpoints, applying Zero Trust principles across environments to build secure, resilient and future-ready digital infrastructures.

Thales Cyber by Design services help organisations move from their current security posture to a target, secure by design architecture. Through assessments, risk and gap analysis, target architecture definition and implementation support, we align security with business, regulatory and future resilience requirements, including Zero Trust and post-quantum readiness.

Key domains and approach of Cyber by Design

Cyber by Design defines and structures security controls from the earliest stages of architecture and system design, rather than adding them afterwards. This approach embeds Zero Trust principles so that no user, device or application is trusted by default, and every request to access resources is verified, regardless of location or network.

Cyber by Design ensures consistent protection across heterogeneous environments by aligning architecture, security controls and governance. It covers key domains: Identity and Access Management, Network Security, Application Security, Endpoint Security, Cloud Security and Operational Technology (OT) Security for industrial and critical environments.

Cyber by Design follows a structured approach: assessment of existing architectures, security controls and dependencies; identification of risks, threat exposure and architectural gaps; definition of target security architectures aligned with business and regulatory requirements; and support for secure design decisions and technical roadmaps.

Thales supports organisations in adopting a Cyber by Design approach by aligning architecture, security controls and future resilience requirements. Our services cover secure architecture definition across cloud, networks, OT, identity, applications and endpoints; Zero Trust architecture design and implementation; security configuration and control hardening; and post-quantum readiness assessment and migration planning.
