CISO’s Playbook to Cloud Security

Involving the security team earlier in a project, you can ensure that a project meets compliance goals. Early engagement allows the security team to integrate security throughout an offering and often prevents costly delays. The ultimate result of engaging security early in a project is that you can provide safe and secure applications and services that don’t put your organization or your customers at risk.
In Hurwitz and Associates’ 2018 cloud security survey, 94% of the participating IT leaders from large and mid-sized companies recognized early security engagement as an enabler to reduce the risk of cybercrime and data loss. Accelerated project delivery and diminishing project costs were the other significant benefits cited in the survey.
