A Security Framework Makes the Business Viable
- The need for an organized approach to developing and maintaining a security posture is essential for any business.
- Mapping security practices to framework controls makes your depth of operations, from the back office to the middle office to the front office, run more smoothly.
“Without an understanding of what your security posture is, and how you’re implementing and maintaining that, the entire business is at risk.”
Having most recently served as director of site reliability, DevOps and security at a major provider of construction services for the telecom industry, Scott Estes comes to the discussion of security frameworks from the perspective of protecting critical infrastructure. He points out that the need for an organized approach to developing and maintaining a security posture is essential for any business. “Without an understanding of what your security posture is, how you’re implementing and maintaining it, the entire business is at risk,” says Estes. “Someone’s going to repeatedly try and disrupt you. If you are considered critical infrastructure, then an effective security posture becomes an existential requirement.”
