It enhances visibility and understanding of attackers’ methods, aiding in the implementation of effective measures to neutralize and prevent emerging cybersecurity threats.
• Spotlight on Cloud Services: The update emphasizes the use of cloud services, introducing new preventive measures to manage associated information security risks. It strengthens controls over accessing, using, maintaining, and exiting from cloud infrastructure.
• Strengthen Secure Software Coding Practices: Establishing coding standards and best practices, such as testing, code reviews, and safe API usage, to ensure secure software that minimizes the attack surface and prevents data breaches and other security incidents.
• Enhance Data Privacy and Protection: Implementing measures to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), preventing identity theft, fraud, and other crimes.
