2. Make sure your transformation
program prioritizes visibility and
availability.
It is much easier to assess, detect &
resolve threats if you have visibility of
key assets and their configurations
within your environment and if your
information/resources are in a specified
location, in the correct format.
1.
Focus on visibility &
availability

3. Before you focus your attention on
improving the features and
functionality of your apps, think about
how you are going keep them
secure.Take a SecDevOps approach
by integrating security practices and
methodologies into your
development and deployment
processes
2.
Start with security

4. With the right foundations in place,
security can become an enabler.
You are in a position to introduce
Security as Code where security is
‘baked in’ to your infrastructure
creating a path of least resistance for
your delivery teams so you have the
guardrails in place to innovate rapidly
and at scale.
