Abstract	This paper presents an integrated framework combining the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Game Theory to enhance cybersecurity defences. TOC is applied to systematically identify and mitigate critical bottlenecks within security infrastructure, while Game Theory models the strategic interactions between attackers and defenders. We propose algorithms for constraint identification and optimal resource allocation based on Nash Equilibrium solutions. Simulation demonstrates improved system resilience and efficient resource utilisation.
