“We take your Security Seriously” – part 3

Posted by Martijn van Lambalgen on October 29, 2019

At first, the title of this blog sounds like an excuse. It’s that sentence that almost every company uses ‘after’ they got hacked. (Don’t worry, we didn’t!). According to me it’s a bad excuse if you present it after everything has fallen apart and only then start working on it. You need to work on it every day.

In this series of 3 blog posts we’d like to share a bit of the Serious work we’re doing at TOPdesk to Secure our customers’ data. We’re doing this not just to keep the data safe, but also because Security is an amazingly interesting and fun topic to work on.

In part 1 and part 2 we talked about making all our colleagues aware of the risks, and how we help Developers write Secure code. In this part we’d like to tell you how we’re continuously monitoring our software for suspicious behavior and how we can respond if something needs our attention.

According to me it’s a bad excuse if you present it after everything has fallen apart and only then start working on Security. It’s something you need to work on every day. And once you think you’re doing fine, you probably still need to speed up, because attackers continuously improve their skills too.

Although we have no intention of getting hacked anytime soon, we’d like to share with you some of the Serious things we’re doing to take care of your Security. Today the first of three blog posts, in which we’ll talk about awareness and training.
