And don't miss our discussion on capability-based security, application whitelisting, and the strategic application of these controls based on thorough gap assessments.

Lastly, we explore the facets of system resilience and security measures that ensure reliability. Understand the concept of graceful degradation and the pivotal role of error handling and logging in troubleshooting. We highlight the importance of redundancy, fault tolerance techniques, and the principle of security by design. Proper testing and auditing are emphasized to ensure systems fail securely, and we provide strategies for addressing both soft and hard failures. Additionally, the roles of job rotation, dual control, and mandatory vacations in error detection and risk management are examined, along with a comparison of on-premise versus cloud networks to help you maintain critical servers and applications.
