Quickly Delivering Secure Applications In Public Sector Organizations

In 2020, the pandemic tremendously impacted public-sector organisations all over the world. As every public-facing service organisation was forced to start pivoting to digital alternatives from the traditional “in-person & paper” model, a new set of challenges were created.

The digital transformation taking place in the public sector is increasing the risk, and it cannot be underestimated.

What are the new risks?

As public sector organizations are increasingly becoming digitized, and application development cycles shorten, there is a large push towards delivering digital solutions as quickly as possible.

Due to the need for speed, addressing application security during software development is often an afterthought. Traditional security approaches like relying on pen testing, and delays invoked by DAST solutions, will end up forcing organizations to choose between security and software release frequency. In the context of compliance and data protection regulations, secure application development is required.

Fortunately, there are some immediate steps you can take to ensure you are delivering secure applications without slowing down your application development efforts.
