Visible Ops Security

Visible Ops Security builds upon the methodology presented in the original Visible Ops Handbook. It guides information security professionals in strengthening relationships with IT operations and development groups to advance IT objectives and business goals. It addresses the people side of IT, empowering security to work with operations teams to achieve closely aligned objectives and with development and release teams to integrate security requirements into preproduction work.

The Visible Ops Security methodology helps IT organizations move beyond a focus on technology to address the core operational aspects of security. It promotes effective teamwork, which helps security professionals ensure that security is built into key development and production processes.

"Visible Ops Security is the first work I’ve found that helps connect all the dots between the shared objectives held by management, security professionals, auditors, and IT professionals. This is so important since all of us, regardless of profession, are often guilty of pursuing the ‘green’ on our own scorecards without linking those metrics to shared goals and what is most important to the organization overall."
