Security has never really been a first-class citizen when it comes to product development and technology implementations. In reality, the culture has always been to treat security as an afterthought or a hindrance. First, you build, then you think about security.

The good news is that security and compliance have moved up the value chain, and the previously limiting factors have all been solved in one way or another with new modernization techniques and platforms.

Geremy Reiner sat down with Rob Eguchi and Bob Abel to discuss how app modernization and security and compliance have evolved.

 

Security moving up the value chain

  • Leadership must be involved from the very beginning to ensure security is treated as a first-class citizen throughout the process. They can’t leave security to just the security team. It needs to start with the culture of security first.
  • Security should never be an impediment to innovation. You need to be able to control your data, but you don't want to impede your users' ability to do what they need to do in an efficient manner.
  • A security and compliance mindset should be baked into the architecture, design, and testing of the application.
