Syncing security and product development early is now a “must do.”
For many organizations, the public cloud has become the sole route to market for new product introductions. This cloud infrastructure is owned and managed by a third party, freeing up the organization from the maintenance and cost that comes with a private cloud setup. With that, speed and scale are the main reasons why developers are moving to the public cloud, and now is the best time for security teams to tighten their partnerships with product development and IT teams.
Although native public cloud controls provide basic infrastructure security, enterprises are still responsible for securing the data they put in the cloud. For this reason, it’s important for security teams to get involved with product development early on to make sure that security considerations are baked into the product at all stages — well before the products ever reach the hands of customers.
