About The Transformed Security Architect

The Transformed Security Architect is Book 6 of The Transformed Architecture. It describes how the security architect role is transformed when architecture is code, when AI drafts and acts, and when adversaries move at machine speed: the craft, the architect's own AI team, the role in the organisation, the competences and the career, for European enterprises and public authorities.

It builds on the conclusions of Architecture as Code, AI Governance, AI Platform and Security, AI Red Team and AI Threat.
