Secure the Modern Application World

The pressures on IT continue to mount:

• Deliver increased agility so the business can adapt quickly to changes
• Accelerate delivery of cloud based applications to the business, customers, and partners
• Boost customer engagement and loyalty with compelling digital experiences
• Gain a sustainable competitive advantage through digital innovation

 
To meet these challenges, more and more organizations are adopting cloud based architectures that use DevOps, containers and microservices as well as automation toolchains and frameworks.

At the same time, cybercriminals are increasingly turning their attention to security gaps and vulnerabilities in modern software, both custom and third-party. It’s often easier for threat actors to exploit these vulnerabilities than it is to breach hardened components of the infrastructure.

Given the speed and volume of development today and the greater complexity of the environment, it’s never been more important to secure your applications and data.

Whether your role is CISO, developer, security architect, operations engineer, or a different member of the DevOps team, you need to understand the security implications of today’s cloud application landscape. Read on for more insight as well as five strategies for addressing application and data security.
