Why Can Application Security Be Considered An Enabler For Business?

If you ask Alex, he won’t admit being old-fashioned. He has been working in the IT industry for a while now and accepts that security is important for the business’s health. But reluctant to take security as the business enabler.

In today’s environment, moving to digitization is a critical step required to drive innovation and business growth. When the application development takes the driver seat, security stalls the progress by saying NO to many things on the highway. — Is what he says.

At that point, my friend Daniel got involved and argued that application security is no longer optional to our business as we rely on apps for our day-to-day activities.
And, he added a powerful quote:

“Because we’ve brakes in our cars, we can drive fast” – Robert Garigue

Businesses will less likely advance if they don’t have security (brakes) to do safely. The car’s speed obtains improvement with brakes – the improvements to business are the improvement to the security.

Alex wants more direct links to prove Daniel’s claim. Let’s go through what Daniel has confronted and figure out whether the Application Security is, in reality, the growth enabler.
