Incomplete question. The missing options read;
a. Design the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete.
b. Schedule development of security features after the application’s initial release.
c. Utilize a DevSecOps approach to incorporate security into the development process from the beginning.
d. Contract with an external vendor to develop a security solution separately from the main application.
Answer:
<u>a. Design the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete.</u>
Explanation:
Remember, our main concern here is to determine <em>the most time-saving and cost-effective way for the Product Manager to address the new application's security considerations.</em>
Hence, if the Product Manager decides to schedule the development of security features after the application’s initial release, this would not be the most time-saving approach. Also, utilizing a DevSecOps approach to incorporate security into the development process from the beginning and contracting with an external vendor to develop a security solution separately from the main application is not the best cost-saving approach.
However, designing the application’s security features after the application’s initial build is complete would be the most time-saving and cost-effective way for the Product Manager to address the new application's security considerations.
