How to Build a PHP Security Roadmap
Is your development team trapped in a cycle of reactive PHP security fixes? Do you struggle to meet compliancy standards? If so, you’re not alone. Many organizations are stuck constantly firefighting in their enterprise PHP applications. This leaves little time for proactive improvements, raises risk, and drains valuable developer resources. You need a strategic and forward-looking strategy to protect your mission-critical apps while meeting increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
By building a PHP security roadmap, your team can move from a state of emergency response to full control. With a plan in place, you can anticipate threats, prioritize fixes, and align security strategy with current (and future) business goals.
