The Netizen Approach to Security and Innovation

- 3. CyberSecure™ Software Development & Analysis Why Is It Needed? • Security is too often an afterthought in software development. Developers typically run simple automated scans that only pick up on glaring issues on various “top 10” lists. • Applications are moving well beyond the firewall to mobile devices, sensor networks (as in telehealth) and the web browser which vastly increases the likelihood of an attack. What Is It? • Agile-based methodologies for critical software. Types of security practices based on a tiered rating of software vulnerability types and your organization’s tolerance for risk. • Incorporates trained “Security Advisors” for each team to guide security implementation at the code, data, system architecture and end-user levels. A “full stack” approach. • Utilizes of a combination of automated and centralized continuous delivery tools (“DevOps”) with human-aided security advisory, design, test & evaluation, threat modeling, etc. • Deeper analysis of product functionality to protect against harder-to-find issues such as buffer/stack overflows, privilege escalation, poor encryption, concurrency errors, etc. • Takes into account user/attacker motivations to build in preventative measures from the ground up.
- 4. CyberSecure™ Software Development & Analysis Importance for our clients: • Creates strong, secure foundation for modernization, new development, and interoperability efforts. • Security-first methodologies save money in long-term support by reducing rework. • Holistic bottom-up security for the whole “stack” from server to software as applications move beyond the firewall into a volatile online environment. • Mitigates risk, reduces liability and increases compliance (PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, etc.). • Far more comprehensive than just a few cursory penetration tests, as most developers do today.
- 5. Industry and Academic Solutions Fostering Innovation Through Collaboration
- 6. University and Private Industry Collaboration • University researchers are concerned about, and heavily invested in, conducting research aimed at safeguarding our nation’s critical technology infrastructure, protecting vital data and solving major technological issues at every level. • Netizen has relationships with prestigious academic institutions and can translate their research into cutting edge tools that our clients can leverage. • Netizen is also dedicated to collaborating with a consortium of trusted partners to transparently and openly drive this kind of innovation.
- 7. Continuous Innovation Management Approach • Continuous feedback from stakeholders and partners helps identify emerging or evolving pain points and security concerns. • Solutions for identified issues are solicited from industry and university research partners in our large innovation network. • Proposed solutions are evaluated by a team for impact, viability and practicality and are then proposed to client stakeholders for implementation.
- 8. Implementing Innovation with Rapid Prototyping • Utilizes the Lean “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP) approach with security ratings built-in for evaluation. • Driven less by formal proposals, more by functionality. • Delivers functional components incrementally with the first phase being part of the bidding process: • Exponentially lower initial budgets with deliverable phases of one to three months or less in duration. • Less risk for clients and stakeholders. • Substantially lower cost vs. traditional methods. • Greatly reduced time to implementation of working product. • Rapid functional prototyping allows clients to better identify & leverage a superior problem-solving vendor.
- 9. Continuous Innovation & Rapid Prototyping Benefits The Benefits for Our Clients: • Can be less formal than most long-form proposal and response processes • Not as hampered by acquisition or funding cycles; Gets working solutions faster • Driven less by profits and more by strong desire to simply solve pressing problems • Client stakeholders get game-changing solutions for problems of any size The Benefits for Our Industry Partners: • Reputation as an innovator and marketing of a solution to key enterprise stakeholders • Standing out with differentiated solutions developed in cooperation with partners The Benefits for Our Academic Partners: • Real-world validation of research • Access to new avenues for potentially rapid commercialization of research
