Question

A Product Manager has been given responsibility for overseeing the development of a new software application that will be deployed to a group of Accenture clients. What would be the most time-saving and cost-effective way for the Product Manager to address the new application's security considerations?

Answer 1

Incomplete question. The missing options read;

a. Design the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete.  

b. Schedule development of security features after the application’s initial release.  

c. Utilize a DevSecOps approach to incorporate security into the development process from the beginning.  

d. Contract with an external vendor to develop a security solution separately from the main application.

Answer:

a. Design the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete.

Explanation:

Remember, our main concern here is to determine the most time-saving and cost-effective way for the Product Manager to address the new application's security considerations.

Hence, if the Product Manager decides to schedule the development of security features after the application’s initial release, this would not be the most time-saving approach. Also, utilizing a DevSecOps approach to incorporate security into the development process from the beginning and contracting with an external vendor to develop a security solution separately from the main application is not the best cost-saving approach.

However, designing the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete would be the most time-saving and cost-effective way for the Product Manager to address the new application's security considerations.
