There are four main stages of software evolution – development, testing, deployment and monitoring. To ensure every application at your agency is secure, you must ingrain security in each cycle of development, no matter what process management approach your agency uses to create applications.
Rather than ripping and replacing legacy systems, agencies are increasingly creating software applications to modernize their services.
As agencies grow in complexity and adopt encryption across a greater portion of the enterprise, they need to move beyond local key management.
This can be accomplished with data-centric security that protects data as it is captured, processed and stored across a variety of devices, operating systems, databases, platforms and applications.
