Secured Connectivity is the cluster's most technically nuanced product domain standardised and catalogue-based at its core, but with meaningfully higher configuration than pure telco products and a partner/integrator landscape that demands disciplined vendor management. The cybersecurity boundary with BEAT (where shared platforms and security tooling live) is a critical interface to manage.
