    What is the Enterprise Application Security Program?

The Enterprise Application Security Program is a new program developed by the Information Security Office within ISS to address the need to build and maintain security within each phase of the systems development lifecycle (SDLC).

    Why is GW implementing the Application Security Program?

Security risks are heavily targeted towards the application level to provide unauthorized access to information assets. Building security into each phase of the SDLC reduces security risks.


 
   When is GW implementing the Application Security Program?

The Enterprise Application Security Program is being rolled out in two Phases. Phase I will go into production on June 1, 2008 and will address initiation, requirements, design, and testing phases of the software development lifecycle. Phase II will be rolled out in late 2008-early 2009.




     Which groups within GW are impacted by the Application  Security     Program?

  • Departments within ISS Such as the PMO, AMO, Enterprise Resource Planning Operations, University Web Services, Change Management, Technical Operations, Academic Technologies, and Technical Services

  • Departments external to ISS that may be impacted include: FEET, Compliance and Privacy Office, Registrar, Internal Audit. Medical Center, Law School, and General Counsel.
