How to implement Agile cybersecurity: five common challenges to manage

<p>Agile cybersecurity, often referred to as &ldquo;Agile Security&rdquo; or &ldquo;DevSecOps&rdquo; (Development, Security, Operations), is an approach incorporating Agile principles and practices, usually through a framework like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.scrum.org/resources/what-scrum-module" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">SCRUM</a>&nbsp;(shown in the below screenshot), into an organization&rsquo;s security practice.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*XVZOLbf9rDKkmHUMTkW41A.png" style="height:350px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Typically, the introduction of Agile cybersecurity aims to improve the speed and efficiency of security teams in responding to threats. By integrating a project management methodology that emphasizes iterative development, collaboration and continuous improvement, Agile cybersecurity aims to unlock the following benefits:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Enabling faster response to threats:</strong>&nbsp;Agile security teams can quickly identify and respond to threats by using short, iterative development cycles. This allows them to deploy security updates, detection rules, incident response tools and patches more quickly, and to reduce the amount of time that attackers have to exploit vulnerabilities within an organization.</li> <li><strong>Improved collaboration:</strong>&nbsp;Agile security teams are cross-functional and collaborative, which means that security teams can work more closely with other departments, such as cyber engineering. This can help improve the overall security posture of the organization.</li> <li><strong>Continuous improvement:</strong>&nbsp;Agile security teams continuously review and improve their processes. This helps to ensure that security teams are using the best possible methods and automations to protect the organization from cyber threats.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://medium.blogonsecurity.com/how-to-implement-agile-cybersecurity-five-common-challenges-to-manage-69fbe2a2768f"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
