How Fortium Partners Supports Secure Software Development

Fortium Partners offers SMBs access to experienced Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) who bring decades of expertise in integrating security into development practices. Here’s how Fortium helps SMBs with secure software development:

1. Risk Assessment and Threat Modeling: Fortium’s CISOs work with SMBs to assess risks specific to their development projects, identifying vulnerabilities and potential threats. This allows companies to proactively address risks during the early stages of development.
2. Secure Coding Practices: Fortium Partners guides developers in adopting secure coding techniques, minimizing vulnerabilities in software from the start. This involves regular code reviews, security testing, and compliance with industry standards such as OWASP Top Ten and NIST guidelines.
3. Continuous Monitoring and Penetration Testing: Cybersecurity doesn’t stop when the code is written. Fortium Partners provides ongoing monitoring and penetration testing to ensure that SMBs’ applications remain secure post-launch. This proactive approach helps to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
4. Security Training and Awareness: One of the key components of secure software development is ensuring that developers understand and prioritize security. Fortium’s CISO experts help SMBs build a security-conscious culture through regular training, ensuring that security remains front-of-mind throughout the development process.
5. Compliance and Regulatory Guidance: Many industries have strict cybersecurity and data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). Fortium’s CISOs help SMBs navigate the complex landscape of compliance, ensuring that their software meets all legal requirements while maintaining security best practices.

Why SMBs Should Act Now

In the race to innovate and bring new products to market, many SMBs overlook critical cybersecurity measures during software development. Unfortunately, this can lead to devastating cyberattacks that are often harder to recover from for smaller businesses. The rise of sophisticated cyber threats makes it imperative for SMBs to integrate security from day one.

Fortium Partners’ CISO Technology Leadership as a Service provides SMBs with the expertise needed to do just that—without the overhead of hiring a full-time CISO. This scalable, on-demand service offers SMBs the flexibility to access high-level security leadership tailored to their specific needs.

Incorporating cybersecurity into software development is no longer optional for SMBs—it's essential. Fortium Partners provides the leadership, expertise, and tools that SMBs need to secure their software development processes, reduce vulnerabilities, and protect their business from cyber threats. With Fortium’s CISO Technology Leadership as a Service, SMBs can innovate confidently, knowing that their security is in expert hands.
