Remote working is here to stay, so it's vital that businesses understand how to get the best out of their staff. For some roles, working remotely is easier than others - DevOps employees, for example, can face challenges if they're not fully supported within the organisation. In a distributed workforce, there's a higher risk of security issues and application problems, so it's crucial that organisations support them to keep the organisation running smoothly. Here are 6 ways to do just that.

In this blog, we will guide you through the benefits and the right approach to implement the shift-left security approach in your application development process and see how this simple strategy can transform the entire security posture of your organization.

Today's organisations are operating in a digital landscape filled with complexities and vulnerabilities. Increasingly, the applications and technologies businesses use to facilitate crucial business operations and connect people are at the mercy of cybercriminals - who are eager to attack from the shadows exploiting and stealing sensitive information held within these everyday applications. As such, security and DevOps teams need a collaborative approach to address and triage application vulnerabilities that continually present themselves - despite each team having different overall objectives.

A cloud native approach to infrastructure and application development enables simplification and speed. Many of the traditional tasks involved in managing and deploying server architecture are removed, and high levels of automation deployed, making use of software-driven infrastructure models. Applications can be deployed at scale, be resilient and secure, while also allowing continuous integration technologies to accelerate development and deployment. Cloud approaches are set to dominate the future, most authorities agree: according to Deloitte, for example, global cloud spending will grow seven times faster than overall IT spending until at least 2025.

In one of our previous posts, we highlighted the importance that making security a part of your organizational culture played in keeping your remote workforce secure during the COVID-19 pandemic. But what does that entail?

2020 was an extremely challenging year for businesses in every industry and in every country across the world.
