IT and cyber = the chicken or the egg?

So, what came first?

This analysis looks at the structural interdependence between IT management and cyber security, mapping out how to build a unified organisational defence by examining:

• The symbiotic relationship between IT operations and cyber strategy, demonstrating how legacy, unpatched hardware actively undermines baseline security postures
• The functional alignment needed for incident response and vulnerability management, balancing IT’s focus on system uptime with security’s focus on strict risk mitigation
• The technical evolution toward integrated, modern frameworks, highlighting zero-trust architectures, cloud-native monitoring tools, and unified cyber-physical defences
