Sashi Jayeratnam, Senior Director of Product Management for Spirent, explains how an unfortunate reality of modern cybersecurity is that it is often put at odds with the wave of innovation that is now happening in enterprise IT – security testing is often reactive and manual and generally cannot keep up with the complexity or pace that innovation brings about. Sashi describes a new approach, where innovation within an organization needs to be managed differently, with security testing embedded and automated throughout the change process so that changes can be tested before they are rolled out. From there security can become an embedded part of the innovation process.
