How to assess an environment’s security posture, risk and threat profile, and possible attack vectors, where perhaps you didn’t code the application or build the infrastructure, and where new code is deployed frequently, and the infrastructure is constantly changing? And this poses a significant risk. Showing a list of key processes.

Early on, business technology was mostly large-scale labor-saving data processing. It wasn't until the 1950s (well, more accurately, the rise of COBOL in the 1960s) that we really started capturing business workflows in code. It went unnoticed because their knowledge was captured in code, and the developers knew the code.
