I was hoping to tap into the security experts for a list of which management / operational processes play some role in the security of your IT infrastructure / applications. For example, software patching/patch management will be 1 of these processes that plays a role in keeping systems secure, but I was hoping someone could share a comprehensive list of the various processes that play a role in security. If I asked for 10 processes that play a role in IT security, what would the 10 be? Its one thing going into a network and running Nessus, but there will be actual operations and processes that should be keeping security issues to a minimum, I am after those actual operations/processes. Please list your various security processes.
