Ad Hoc Security

Developers might use Ad Hoc Security in fast-paced, agile projects where rapid prototyping or tight deadlines lead to deferred security considerations, or in small teams lacking dedicated security expertise

Pros

• It can serve as a temporary stopgap in emergency situations, such as responding to a newly discovered exploit, but it is generally discouraged for long-term use due to its inconsistency and higher risk of oversight
• Related to: security-by-design, devsecops

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Cybersecurity Frameworks if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Ad Hoc Security if: You prioritize it can serve as a temporary stopgap in emergency situations, such as responding to a newly discovered exploit, but it is generally discouraged for long-term use due to its inconsistency and higher risk of oversight over what Cybersecurity Frameworks offers.

The Bottom Line

Cybersecurity Frameworks wins
