How do we protect against this changing enterprise application landscape? Organizations across the world need to lead the adoption of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) for cybersecurity as their first principle of implementation.
Hackers are entrepreneurs. After legitimate developers built software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses by renting access to productivity software, cybercriminals seeking new revenue streams created malware-as-a-service (MaaS) as a dangerous alternative.
A single application may have hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities. Increasingly, cybercriminals are targeting people just as much if not more than the systems that underlie an infrastructure, which is why the trusted insider conundrum is exacting renewed attention. In most instances, they represent a cheaper and more accessible conduit to achieve one’s objective. What’s to be done?
By staying on top of open source trends, scanning frequently and working with security counterparts to get the information needed, developers can fix more third-party library flaws faster to develop more secure applications in the future.
Overcome human nature with a security mindset that uses what humans are best at: complex reasoning. Remember to trust your human nature – the intuition that you need to double-check “locking the doors” or other security steps.

Let’s look at three ways partners can advise customers on their cybersecurity needs.
Instead of disrupting development with gates, organizations can implement a security champions program to build security guardrails into development. Here are five considerations for implementing an effective security champions program.
Any organization handling personally identifiable information through an IVR or contact center must secure its systems and implement proper risk management protocols. If they don’t, they and their customers may well suffer severe financial and reputational damage in the years to come.
