How do you secure an organisation the size of Tesco?
In this DevLab episode, we’re joined by Harry McLaren, Head of Cyber Defence, and Jason Larkin, Head of Platform Security Architecture at Tesco, to unpack how modern security works at real scale.
They talk through identity becoming the new perimeter, why attackers are increasingly “logging in, not breaking in”, and how architecture and cyber defence teams work together to reduce real-world risk. It’s a grounded conversation about fundamentals, complexity, cloud security, and what actually matters when theory meets reality.
