Experts Say Finance Needs Balanced Software
(MENAFN) At the DevSecOps Days Istanbul Conference, a panel titled "Balancing Speed and Security: DevSecOps in a Zero Trust World" emphasized the importance of achieving equilibrium between rapid development and robust security in financial software systems.
Industry professionals underscored how critical this balance is, particularly in a high-stakes, regulation-heavy environment like the finance sector.
The session featured three experts: Faruk Selman Lekesiz, Director of Information Technology Solutions at Takasbank; Abdulkadir Demir, Application Security and Vulnerability Management Manager at Ziraat Technology; and Ali Riza Bulazar, System Management Director at Borsa Istanbul.
They acknowledged that while swift software delivery is essential, the inherent risks in the finance industry necessitate a more measured approach.
Lekesiz pointed out that within financial institutions, safeguarding development operations is vital, especially within a framework defined by a "zero trust" security philosophy.
He noted that the financial industry's regulatory pressures and potential threats mandate a more calculated pace that prioritizes protection alongside progress.
Demir added that financial organizations operate under relentless scrutiny due to both regulatory demands and cybersecurity challenges.
He highlighted that "Ziraat Technology is one of the pioneers in the field of DevSecOps," and based on his experience, he supports a strategy that harmonizes velocity with security throughout the development lifecycle.
Bulazar reinforced the message by stating that although agility is fundamental in creating software, the final product’s integrity and safety are equally crucial.
In the context of financial services, maintaining high standards for both speed and defense mechanisms is essential for long-term success.
In summary, the panelists agreed that for financial technology to thrive, development teams must not sacrifice security for the sake of speed — both must go hand in hand.
