In today’s world of rapid technological advancements, adequate cybersecurity has become more important than ever before. Cyber-crime is on the rise, and virtually all businesses, regardless of size, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
How to Make Cybersecurity a Part of Your Technology Project
1) Define Clear Boundaries
Define the boundaries of the information system clearly. You must determine where the data is stored, as well as the critical dependencies, in addition to where the data is stored.
2) Defend Against Insider Threats
According to cybersecurity statistics, the majority of cyberattacks come from within an organisation and are carried out by employees who have access to sensitive data. You must instil a culture of vigilance among all employees in order to keep your company safe.
3) Security Awareness Training
Even if you have the best security policy in place, it’s critical that every employee understands the importance of cybersecurity in today’s perilous world.
4) Segmentation of the Network
When developing a new product architecture, network segmentation is a critical and highly effective security measure that can be implemented.
5) Vulnerability Management and Remediation
Professionals should enable automatic detection and remediation of vulnerabilities throughout the cycle to stay ahead of cybercriminals. To ensure that their services and products do not rely on risky code, the team should track inventory with automated tools.
6) Data Mapping
If the new product is supposed to process or regulate sensitive data, it’s critical to create a data processing map to assess privacy risks. Data mapping makes identifying where security measures should be implemented much easier.
