Did you make the *security* naughty or nice list this year?

As the year comes to a close, many organizations are reflecting on their security practices and considering how to improve them in the new year. A team's approach to security can make all the difference between getting certified or facing audit reports at the end of the year. The "naughty or nice" list highlights key security practices that either land teams on the naughty list due to missed opportunities or on the nice list due to proactive measures. Teams can improve their security posture by integrating security into the development process, implementing comprehensive logging and real-time monitoring, and using AI-powered tools to stay ahead of attackers. By taking a shift-left approach to identifying vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, teams can minimize downstream risks and inefficiencies, ultimately landing on the nice list.
