Information Security and compliancy is the number one topic for IT organizations today. As the world becomes one giant interconnected network, threats come from everywhere; both external and internal to an organization. Because these threats continue to evolve, security must evolve as well. It is with this in mind, that DSW created its Secure Network Application Platform (SNAP) lab. SNAP is a flexible blueprint for achieving security compliancy that withstands the test of time.

SNAP provides a technology agnostic set of rules and standards for securely supporting applications and protecting sensitive data in organizations of all sizes with varying levels of risk complexity that evolves over time. SNAP is a vendor neutral best practice approach, integrating a variety of vendor’s technology to verify security capability, compatability, interoperability and functionality to stop threats. The SNAP lab is a high value “proving ground” that provides a flexible technology foundation to validate security hypothesis.
