Digital security architecture
Critical to aligning security strategies with the business is a digital security architecture, a framework of strategies, tactics and capabilities that provides a common language, a consistent approach and a long-term vision.
The DXC Cyber Reference Architecture incorporates the key objectives of the organization, defines the security requirements and maps out the best approach for deploying targeted security capabilities to support the plan.
Digital security also must be built into application development and testing processes. Instead of “bolting on” security, security should be “baked in” from the earliest point in app development.
As organizations must to DevOps, they are constantly pushing software enhancements and fixes into production, enabling much more rapid application development, especially for the cloud. DevSecOps is the process that incorporates security into each step, from requirements to final testing.
This collaborative process between security and applications teams is crucial to supporting digital security. The IT industry has recognized that close-knit, multiskilled teams are the most efficient way to develop new products, rather than relying on monolithic siloed teams such as separate applications and security development departments.
