Cybersecurity

What is Cybersecurity?

As more businesses find themselves the victims of phishing schemes and data breaches, organizations have moved cybersecurity into a more centralized role in protecting networks, data, and devices. Cybersecurity defends against malicious threats and attacks from malware and ransomware perpetrated by bad actors. Cybersecurity is now the defensive foundational cornerstone for most businesses who want to protect every aspect of their digital infrastructure.

How does Cybersecurity work?

To stand up an effective cybersecurity program, organizations develop a model known as defense in depth. This model works by creating multiple, overlapping layers that defend against unauthorized access or cyberattacks. The components of this defense include managing the identity and controlling the access of people to various internal and external systems. Network security also continuously monitors data systems to stop malicious activity. Security applications are installed to detect system vulnerabilities. And security operations also are set up to quickly detect, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks. GlobalLogic’s Cybersecurity practice integrates security engineering directly into the software development lifecycle by building secure products from the ground up, rather than testing for security weaknesses after the fact.

What are the business benefits of Cybersecurity?

• Protects revenue and increases customer trust by reducing the likelihood and impact of data breaches and system outages
• Reduces regulatory and legal exposure to organizations by enhancing compliance measures to include security standards and frameworks
• Enables faster and safer software delivery by embedding security into the early stages of development pipeline
• Ensures business continuity by keeping critical systems and services available during a cyberattack
• Extends confidence to organizational leadership to adopt new technologies, without assuming unacceptable risk
