Case Study: Technology & Product Review for Application Lifecycle Management Tools
Case Scenario:
Aberdeen Software (the "client") has asked your IT security consulting firm to research and recommend an Application LifecycleManagement tool for their small but growing software development firm (300 employees working from one headquarters location). The company has developed several innovative detection and analysis applications ("software programs") which use big data analytics to identify and thwart cybercriminals and cyber terrorists. The CEO has realized his company's sales and reputation are at risk if his company cannot demonstrate that their products are trustworthy by showing that all software components have been under tight configuration control throughout the entire application lifecycle.
