Many in IT, security, and development probably understand what these concepts mean at a high level. Implementing them in a practical sense, however, may be harder. Not only do you need to gain organization-wide buy-in for the value that modern security strategies provide, but you must also determine the most efficient and effective ways of integrating them into workflows and tool sets that are already in place.

We then walk through practical strategies for putting those security philosophies into practice, with guidance broken down according to the different IT architectural strategies that organizations commonly have in place today.
