Security is being integrated into every device to provide a critical security layer. Manufacturers are adopting a privacy-by-design framework, in which privacy is the key design element.
With the explosive growth in data and increased security threats, business are re-evaluating their data security governance to incorporate best cyber security practices. Data security governance is also being expanded to address governance of technologies such as big data and cloud.
Cyber security automation is bringing in efficiencies in incident detection, attack analysis and response. Not only does it eliminate the risk of human errors, it is also helping in the automatic remediation of security issues.
While digital transformation presents multiple opportunities for your business, your expanding digital presence also brings accompanying cyber security risks that can adversely impact your business.
Cyber-attacks can compromise your applications, devices and data, and cause immense losses. Once hackers gain access to one of your systems, they can move through your network and attack other assets. They can disrupt critical activities, and compromise the operations,security and privacy of your business and your customers.
As you implement your digital transformation strategy, all your products, services and systems need to be developed without compromising security. They need to be constantly tracked for vulnerabilities, and should have protection that restrict access. Your business needs to be alert and protect your assets to reduce business risks from cyber security breaches.
Cyber security mechanisms that have been typically used include threat modelling, static code analysis and runtime vulnerability assessment. However, the impact of digital transformation on products and services is also driving changes in cyber security approaches.
This is a live document which serves as a ready reckoner for our developers on security best practices. It is prepared in the form of a checklist and updated regularly to incorporate learnings from security incidents in the project and outside.
This involves writing test cases for security requirements. Besides executing these product-specific test cases, we use penetration tools in a proxy configuration that allows network traffic to pass through and do ethical hacking to penetrate deep into the product and report the results.
Secure deployment or the IT security policy ensures that the deployment environment is safeguarded from different kinds of external threats. This includes configuring firewalls, maintaining the environment up-to-date on security patches, implementing access control and security policy, etc.
