Cube Cyber designs and builds security architecture for Australian organisations, Zero Trust, network segmentation, cloud and identity, from initial review through to implemented controls. We work with enterprises, government and operators of IT/OT environments that have outgrown perimeter-era designs and need architecture that reduces real attack paths, not just reference diagrams.
Most environments we review share the same underlying problems
Core capabilities & deliverables
Security architecture review
A current-state assessment of your network, cloud, identity and control landscape against the threats that matter to your sector. You receive a prioritised roadmap tied to attack paths and business risk, not a hundred-page report ranked by generic severity.
Zero Trust and network segmentation
Design and implementation of segmentation that contains a breach instead of assuming one will never happen. We have delivered microsegmentation at scale, including as an Illumio Core Expert partner, in environments where the segmentation had to work around live clinical and operational systems.
Cloud and infrastructure security architecture
Secure landing zones, identity and privileged access design, and hybrid connectivity across cloud and on-premises infrastructure, architecture decisions made once, correctly, rather than remediated per workload later.
Secure architecture transformation
The build phase most consultancies leave to someone else. Our architects stay through implementation, designing, configuring and validating controls with your team.
Identity-first architecture
Identity is the control plane modern attacks target. We design authentication, authorisation and privileged access architectures aligned to Essential Eight maturity targets and conditional-access best practice.
Every engagement follows the same four-stage path, scoped to the environment
Discover
Map the environment as it actually is, assets, data flows, trust relationships and existing controls, including the undocumented parts, which are usually where the risk lives.
Design
Produce target architecture and a staged transition plan, prioritised by attack-path reduction and sequenced around operational constraints such as change windows and clinical or production uptime.
Build
Implement with your team or ours, configuration, migration and cutover, with security controls validated as they land rather than audited afterwards.
Validate & handover
Test that the implemented architecture matches the design (our Security Testing practice can independently verify), then hand over documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer.
Designs are aligned to the frameworks your obligations reference: the ASD Essential Eight and ISM, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001 control objectives, and IEC 62443 where the architecture crosses into OT.
NISTISO 27001IEC 62443Frequently asked questions
An architecture review examines how your environment is designed, segmentation, identity, trust relationships and control placement, and identifies structural weaknesses. A penetration test attempts to exploit weaknesses in the environment as built. They complement each other: the review finds systemic issues, the test proves what is exploitable today. We deliver both, and each informs the other.
Both, and it is a deliberate point of difference. The architects who produce the design provide oversight throughout implementation, configuration and validation. We have designed and delivered security architecture for some of the most complex environments in Australia, including some of Queensland's largest digital hospitals and Australia's largest financial organisations.
Yes. Architecture engagements start from what you already run, firewalls, identity platforms, EDR, cloud tooling, and we design around consolidating and configuring those investments properly before recommending anything new. Where new capability is genuinely needed, we are vendor-agnostic in the design and transparent about our partnerships.
A focused architecture review of a mid-sized environment typically runs a few weeks; design and build programs are staged over months and sequenced around your change windows. We scope engagements to the environment rather than selling a fixed block of days.
Yes, OT and converged IT/OT architecture is a genuine specialisation, including segmentation between corporate and operational networks aligned to IEC 62443. We work across industrial control systems, building management systems and clinical environments, with more than 10 years' experience in OT.
