Importance of Strong Application Security Posture in a Fast-Paced World

In a world where sensitive data is continuously at risk of being hacked by malicious actors, IT teams and practitioners need to prioritize improving their organization’s security posture.


Both the application and security teams seek to provide users with the best high-performance applications, as well as the least amount of downtime and the tightest security possible.


Adding a layer of security to the inner circle


Although IT teams understand the benefits of integrating security solutions into an application, other teams may be reluctant to accept that. So, mostly security is relegated to the periphery rather than being embedded in the application. The conflict between the application and security teams is evident at this point and could become cause the security space to be unstable.


Synergy and speed


Security should be at the forefront of an application or perhaps security should be driven by the application. Since applications are dynamic and change frequently, security should be incorporated into the application rather than around it and should be continuous and automated. Real-time data is at the center of it all, connecting application and security teams rather than sending piecemeal data over the wall to each other without context.


This crucial move will allow technologists to uncover application vulnerabilities in production, correlate vulnerabilities and breaches with business impact, and bring application and security teams together to support rapid remediation.
