Software development cyber security
Any lack of protection against cyber threats can result in data and money thefts, software damage, as well as losing customer trust and reputation.
Cyber threats neglected in the course of software development become the main reason of failure of many businesses.

The key issues of software cyber security
A cloud native security strategy

There is no one universal model of cyber security management. When planning a cloud native cyber security strategy, attention should be paid to such issues as the type of application, business environment, branch, character of the organisation, as well as the type and purpose of the collected data.
The most important thing is to include appropriate preventive measures as early as the software planning and development stage. This is required not only by regulation, but also by common sense and the respect toward users of your digital product.
A lack of sufficient software and data security (especially sensitive data) can harm your company, not just in terms of PR. A software house should always remember about the legal environment of its partner. Various personal data protection regulations and requirements associated with providing network security require an individual approach and solutions compliant with a given business location. For example, in Europe, the GDPRs are extremely strict, and neglecting them can cost up to 4% of your annual income.

Cyber threat management framework
How should we prepare appropriate cyber threat management procedures? At Stepwise we use a very practical approach in this respect. We conduct workshops with the customer and predict potential threats (attack vectors) then suggest preventive actions. The variety of business needs and conditions require a mix of operations, which is why we treat each single customer individually.


- The benefits of proper cyber security management include
- A high level of software security
- A high level of data security
- A smaller number of errors and code vulnerabilities
- Stable operation of digital products
- Legal security
- Avoidance of fines
- Trust of customers and partners
- Increased company reputation
- Cost-efficiency – prediction of potential threats and preparing adequate preventive actions at the onset of the project require less money than does identification and neutralisation of threats when they appear
- Time-efficiency – Stepwise ensures advanced automation of many processes in cloud services. This allows maintenance of a high security level without additional specialists and time monitoring all components of the system
Your company will be able to develop smoothly once you gain the essential knowledge of securing your applications and data. Stepwise will prepare your organisation for conscious cyber security management of cloud native software. Contact us, and let us secure your software, business and customers.
