IT Jungle The Four Hundred Article

Software Change Management Starts – And Ends – With Security. PTC is dedicated to ensuring we are not the cause of some calamity as we hear about every other day on the news – ransomware, malware, and data thefts. We have security awareness training for all developers, and operational processes that encourage thinking about security and vulnerabilities at all stages of application development – architecture, design, coding, code reviews, and testing.

Securing the Change Article

Change control systems must allow users to be designated with certain rights to manage your applications. These rights allow change control events to be performed by users with specified capabilities, while at the same time not allowing that user to perform the same events outside of change control.
