Why You Should

Overcoming Barriers

How Cenzic Managed Services Can

4

1. You Use SAST Tools In Development

Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

• Good first step

• Efficient for some remediations

• Teaches Developers best practices

• Commonly accepted method

• Insufficient = False sense of security

5

2. Production Team Afraid of Down Time

Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

• Production Team measured by up time

• If it’s not broke, don’t fix it

• Security Analyst needs Production Buy-In to actively monitor production environments

6

3. Production Team May Not Have Skill Set

Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

• Depends on team • Mostly made up of guys who plan

and manage patches, maintain hardware, and rollout new systems.

• If they’re not comfortable…they will

resist

7

4. Confusion Over Whose Budget Pays

Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

• Is this Developers’ budget? • They built it, unless it’s outsourced

• Is it Security Analysts’ budget?

• It’s security…and development and production…

• Is it Production budget? • They run it.

8

5. You Haven’t Gotten Around To it Yet

Cenzic, Inc. - Confidential, All Rights Reserved.

• Even if everyone agrees it should be done…it has to become a priority

• Like brushing teeth…you can skip it, but eventually there’ll be a hole.

• Gets deferred.
