Shift-Up Security Gains Traction in Asia Pacific for Rapid Innovation and Robust Cyber Defense
A new approach to cybersecurity, known as 'shift-up' security, is gaining traction in the Asia Pacific region. This method extends security measures beyond the initial development stages, reducing vulnerabilities and building customer trust. It's particularly beneficial for businesses seeking to innovate quickly while managing cyber risks effectively.
Traditional 'shift-left' security, which focuses on embedding security early in development, is no longer sufficient against sophisticated cyber threats. To address this, businesses are adopting a more comprehensive security approach that spans the entire development lifecycle, including runtime and post-release phases.
Enterprises in the Asia Pacific are facing challenges in balancing rapid software innovation with robust security. A financial services startup, renowned for its tight integration of security and compliance at every stage of software development, has emerged as a leader in this field. They do not treat security and compliance as mere by-products, but rather as integral components of their development process.
To evolve shift-left security, the startup recommends three key steps: developing reusable, automated security analyzers; establishing global security policies as guardrails; and implementing contextual approval gating. Moreover, implementing a software development platform can create templates for security tools and security-compliant workflows with policies baked in.
Shift-up security is proving essential for businesses in the Asia Pacific region, enabling them to innovate quickly while managing cyber risks. By extending security measures throughout the development lifecycle, this approach reduces vulnerabilities, supports compliance, and builds customer trust. Enterprises are encouraged to adopt this comprehensive security strategy to stay ahead in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
