   • Maintain the N-1 cycle and approach and ensure all assets, library and platform is updated with latest patch.
3. Security Acceptance Testing
   • All projects should qualify the specific security requirement on project and should not over-cross the requirement.
4. Obsolescence Management
   • Life-cycle management of all ISIT assets, platform, OS, DB, Middleware, front-end, back-end and libraries.
   • Deviation should be mitigated within stipulated time-frame, maintain proactive eol and eos information and communicate with business for refresh.
5. Security Authentication / Privilege management
