Secret 7: Stay Compliant and Stay Secure

While it is important to stay agile and focused on the outcomes, you should also focus on compliance. This is critical not just for organizations in healthcare, government or finance but also for enterprises in practically every vertical these days. You don’t want your company to be featured in news articles for all the wrong reasons.

Adhere to compliance standards that are important for your company and industry. From basic compliance frameworks such as CIS, PCI-DSS all the way to NIST, HIPPA, etc., it’s important to stay proactive and utilize automation in compliance and security. Identifying exposed S3 buckets and IP addresses shouldn’t be difficult. Taking simple steps to prevent a breach now can save a lot of time and effort later recovering from one.
