Baking-In Software Security

3. CyberSecure™ Software Development & Analysis
Why Is It Needed?
• Security is too often an afterthought in software development. Developers typically run simple
automated scans that only pick up on glaring issues on various “top 10” lists.
• Applications are moving well beyond the firewall to mobile devices, sensor networks (as in telehealth)
and the web browser which vastly increases the likelihood of an attack.
What Is It?
• Agile-based methodologies for critical software. Types of security practices based on a tiered
rating of software vulnerability types and your organization’s tolerance for risk.
• Incorporates trained “Security Advisors” for each team to guide security implementation at the
code, data, system architecture and end-user levels. A “full stack” approach.
• Utilizes of a combination of automated and centralized continuous delivery tools (“DevOps”) with
human-aided security advisory, design, test & evaluation, threat modeling, etc.
• Deeper analysis of product functionality to protect against harder-to-find issues such as buffer/stack
overflows, privilege escalation, poor encryption, concurrency errors, etc.
• Takes into account user/attacker motivations to build in preventative measures from the ground up.

4. CyberSecure™ Software Development & Analysis
Importance for our clients:
• Creates strong, secure foundation for modernization,
new development, and interoperability efforts.
• Security-first methodologies save money in long-term
support by reducing rework.
• Holistic bottom-up security for the whole “stack” from
server to software as applications move beyond the
firewall into a volatile online environment.
• Mitigates risk, reduces liability and increases
compliance (PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, etc.).
• Far more comprehensive than just a few cursory
penetration tests, as most developers do today.

5. Industry and Academic Solutions
Fostering Innovation Through Collaboration

6. University and Private Industry Collaboration
• University researchers are concerned about, and
heavily invested in, conducting research aimed at
safeguarding our nation’s critical technology
infrastructure, protecting vital data and solving
major technological issues at every level.
• Netizen has relationships with prestigious academic
institutions and can translate their research into
cutting edge tools that our clients can leverage.
• Netizen is also dedicated to collaborating with a
consortium of trusted partners to transparently and
openly drive this kind of innovation.

7. Continuous Innovation Management Approach
• Continuous feedback from stakeholders
and partners helps identify emerging or
evolving pain points and security concerns.
• Solutions for identified issues are solicited
from industry and university research
partners in our large innovation network.
• Proposed solutions are evaluated by a
team for impact, viability and practicality
and are then proposed to client
stakeholders for implementation.

8. Implementing Innovation with Rapid Prototyping
• Utilizes the Lean “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP)
approach with security ratings built-in for evaluation.
• Driven less by formal proposals, more by functionality.
• Delivers functional components incrementally with the
first phase being part of the bidding process:
• Exponentially lower initial budgets with deliverable phases
of one to three months or less in duration.
• Less risk for clients and stakeholders.
• Substantially lower cost vs. traditional methods.
• Greatly reduced time to implementation of working product.
• Rapid functional prototyping allows clients to better
identify & leverage a superior problem-solving vendor.

9. Continuous Innovation & Rapid Prototyping Benefits
The Benefits for Our Clients:
• Can be less formal than most long-form proposal and response processes
• Not as hampered by acquisition or funding cycles; Gets working solutions faster
• Driven less by profits and more by strong desire to simply solve pressing problems
• Client stakeholders get game-changing solutions for problems of any size
The Benefits for Our Industry Partners:
• Reputation as an innovator and marketing of a solution to key enterprise stakeholders
• Standing out with differentiated solutions developed in cooperation with partners
The Benefits for Our Academic Partners:
• Real-world validation of research
• Access to new avenues for potentially rapid commercialization of research

10. Innovation and Collaboration at Netizen
• Driving innovation in a variety of industry sectors is a foundational
tenet of Netizen’s corporate mission.
• Innovation, security and responsiveness are ingrained into all of
Netizen operations from the ground up.
• Netizen works to foster a spirit of collaboration within a large
curated network of innovators that includes private industry and
