Cybersecurity is an increasingly important area for UN Agencies in getting their respective missions delivered. This includes security for DevOps and application development.
Application security (AppSec) is the process of developing, adding, and testing security features within applications to prevent security vulnerabilities against threats such as unauthorized access and modification. Its goal is to improve security practices and find, fix and prevent security issues within applications. AppSec encompasses the entire application lifecycle from requirements analysis, design, implementation, verification to maintenance.
UNICC is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Veracode, a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader in AppSec services. Veracode offers a trusted partnership with UNICC, featuring volume discounts for UNICC Clients and Partner Organizations.
