Scalable Frameworks for Application Security and Data Protection

Abstract

Nationwide organizations face the challenge of managing the cyber risk profile while delivering software solutions to meet growing and changing requirements of customers, regulators, and internal stakeholders. Companies operate in competing priorities having limited resources available. It is crucial to design and deploy scalable frameworks that help prioritizing actions in the “Identify. Protect. Detect. Respond. Recover.” paradigm. Unsecure practices at developing, and deploying applications and dependency on improperly managed web and cloud-based services may lead to data compromise. In the article, the author introduces an approach to identify high-yield opportunities for building cybersecurity capabilities and proposes a framework for delivering application security and compliance on scale. Effective frameworks allow the transformation of costs into value for businesses and their customers through achieving compliance, measuring security risks, and keeping them under control.
