Security Best Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

More and more organizations today realize how important it is to manage security of their websites and applications on cloud or on-premise datacenters. Organizations are rapidly adopting Hybrid Cloud models<\/a> in which managing security is of paramount importance. In order to cater to rapidly changing business realities, organizations are constantly evaluating methods to deploy software’s faster and meet or exceed organization goals. This has resulted in Information security teams to be more competitive and faster in aligning to business needs.<\/p>\n

A recent survey by WhiteHat Security puts an average number of threats to as much as 32 per site (in IT industry)<\/p>\n

Traditionally, DevOps<\/a> have always worked in silos, and when it came to security; security teams were brought in to check for security only once the development had been over. This often meant that product releases were delayed because of security issues, or security issues were overlooked in order to meet the aggressive timelines.<\/p>\n

There are a number of organizations that\u00a0have learned the need of effective security a very hard way, and often it was too late for some<\/span>. Regardless of such lapses there are businesses which continue to ignore such lapses because they either don\u2019t understand the implications of such lapses or are unable to bridge the security gap due to adequate knowledge & support and this now threatens businesses to lose their competitive edge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations are increasingly adopting Agile processes to ensure faster delivery time for applications. DevOps collaborates to make sure app is built and deployed quickly while making use of automation tools<\/a> at every step. And most often security is overlooked which should be an integral part of product life cycle.<\/p>\n

In order to make security the integral part of product development<\/a> we\u00a0recommend implementing OWASP Top 10 controls along with additional controls on infrastructure on Cloud of different service provides (AWS, Azure etc.)<\/p>\n
