Abstract: Introducing a new third-party software to an enterprise environment is often overlooked task. When it comes to adding new software to environment, an assurance of its compliance with the enterprise security posture and operational standard is a must; and the software reputation must be also verified. The software endorsement process will ensure full assessment of the third-party software at the initial stage, and a maximum utilization of IT software solutions. Moreover, it will also help to avoid duplication in software solutions within the enterprise environment. This paper will explore an overall endorsement practice and cybersecurity methodology that can help an organization to endorse new third-party software, from cybersecurity and licensing perspectives.
