Description:Effective application management transcends packaging and deployment, serving as a vital security discipline. Implement a robust framework for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) that encompasses strategic onboarding through to vigilant retirement. Streamline approvals involving Architecture, Security, and Legal, enforce clear application ownership, and utilize automated tools to identify and eliminate 'zombie apps'. Align your procedures with security objectives, ensuring each application is thoroughly vetted, actively maintained, or responsibly retired.
What you will learn: - Establish a tailored application onboarding framework that identifies key stakeholders (Security, Legal, Architecture) and automates the approval workflow for thorough vetting before deployment.
- Ensure accountability by tracking application ownership, assigning business owners for every app to manage licensing, justification, and lifecycle decisions effectively.
- Automate workstreams for packaging and publishing to ConfigMgr/Intune, bridging security and operations to manage vulnerabilities and updates throughout the application lifecycle.
- Utilize a provided checklist for planning application end-of-life, leveraging automated tools to identify and retire 'zombie apps,' thereby minimizing your attack surface.
