I've been in the security space for a long time, and I've worked in small startups, large companies and everything in between. If there's one thing that's clear, it's that security is hard work. It takes a lot of effort to build an effective security program—but what if we could all share our learnings? What if instead of working independently on our own organizations' security challenges, we could come together as an industry and talk about what works well? What if we could help each other out by sharing best practices? That would be awesome! And here at Checkmarx, it's something we've been doing for years now!
?Why Is Security Hard In Large, Complex Organizations
Security is a difficult problem to solve, and it's especially hard in large, complex organizations. Security is important because it's the only way to protect your company from hackers and other bad actors. But it's also constantly changing–new threats emerge every day and technology evolves rapidly.
Security isn't just about technology; it involves people, processes, culture and policy (among other things). This makes security very different from other disciplines like software development or project management where you can learn one methodology or toolset that will let you tackle any problem with confidence (or at least hope). In contrast with those disciplines:
There aren't any best practices or standards to follow when designing systems that are secure by design; instead we have guidelines that provide some direction but don't guarantee success
The right answers depend heavily on context (e.g., what resources are available vs cost constraints) which means no two projects will look exactly alike even though they might use similar technologies
It's easy to feel like you're alone in the world. You try something, it doesn't work, and you're left wondering what went wrong. It can be hard to find answers when there are so many unknowns in security–and even more so when the answer you get isn't what you wanted anyway.
But we're not alone! The fact that we can share our experiences and learn from each other is one of the best parts about working in this field. We have enough collective experience across organizations large and small that we can do better by sharing our knowledge with each other than by working alone or keeping secrets from each other.
Security is a process, not a product. It's something that you need to bake into the culture of your company and make part of the way we do business.
Security needs to be baked into the culture of an organization so it becomes part of everything: how we work together as teams, how we communicate with each other and interact with customers or clients, even down to our processes for handling confidential information such as customer data or intellectual property (IP).
?Why Do We Need Security All The Time
It's unlikely we'll get security right 100% of the time. Security is a process, not a product or feature. It's something you do on a regular basis, every day, to protect your organization from threats big and small.
Security is also an attitude a mindset that everyone in your organization needs to adopt if they're going to do their part in keeping things safe. And it isn't just about technology: security is about culture as much as anything else, because it involves people working together toward a common goal (keeping the bad guys out).
The best way for organizations like yours or mine to stay secure? Make sure everyone knows what they're supposed to do when something comes up; provide them with resources (like training) so they understand how their actions affect others' workflows; encourage them when needed; hold people accountable when appropriate–and remember there will always be someone who slips through our defenses
Sharing our experiences is key. It's how we learn, and it's also how we help others. By sharing your stories with us, you can help us all improve our security practices.
