The task described involves assessing a document management application that has been in use for many years. This scenario typically requires a security strategy that addresses the unique challenges of legacy code. Legacy code refers to software that has been around for a long time and may not have been developed with current security standards in mind. A security strategy for legacy code would include measures to ensure that the application complies with current organizational policies, which may involve code reviews, updates, and the implementation of modern security practices to mitigate any potential vulnerabilities inherent in older code12.
