Improving the Enterprise Corporate Security Program for Lean Application and Data Governance – Fonseca-Lind and Figueroa-Medina
Abstract:
In this modern work era of cross functional remote collaboration and distributed work environment, data matters, change is a constant, and improved user experience is a must to stay afloat in business and projects. As organizations rethink their business models amid the aftermath of the worldwide pandemic and recent natural disasters, projects to refine cloud and mobile-based solutions originally designed to stay in business during the lockdown are in process. Organizations, from small businesses, medium and even large organizations, had not time then to plan for contingencies and systematically transition to remote work. Of those organizations that were ready to continue operating with little or no effect on their operations, the impact was minimal, still changes in operations and service models needed to be made. These efforts resulted in the design, coding and deployment of applications, migrating data repositories and solutions over cloud and mobile platforms and services in a reactive mode, posing a high risk towards the health of operations, systems, application, and data. As organizations are redefining their new state of operations, cloud and mobile platforms will likely remain being part of the operations and service offerings. Data is a valuable asset for any organization, and there is a need to refine, redesign and reinforce controls and security provisions to protect the cyber work landscape. Organizations must take action, starting with the lessons learned from recent events, integrate new tools, processes and standards to strengthen applications and operations, secure data repositories, to guarantee a safe and reliable workspace and be ready for a quick response in the event of future emergencies. This study intends to explore the integration of DevSecOps to optimize the production and service chain, reinforce cybersecurity controls and introduce the data governance structure for secure application and data processing in mobile and cloud-environments.
