Information Security Management through Reflexive Security
Information Security Management through Reflexive Security

Information Security Management through Reflexive Security

Release Date: 08/01/2019

Working Group: DevSecOps

DevOps, the practice of applying developmental best practices such as collective collaboration to infrastructure operations, has been shown to positively impact efficiencies of development and operations teams today, especially in the cloud environment. Given its strengthening adoption, it is necessary to consider its impact on information security itself and look to apply those practices to the arena of information security management.

This document defines “Reflexive Security” as a new security management approach that is built upon the interrelationships between security, development and operations necessary for protecting the security stance and the deliverables of an organization.
