Integrating Security into DevOps Takes Care

Source – informationweek.com DevOps is quickly evolving from the experimental phase to becoming the standard approach to application development and delivery.

DevOps Security & the Culture of ‘Yes’

Source – darkreading.com I was talking to the CISO of a Fortune 500 healthcare company about how security teams work with their counterparts in other organizations. He lamented that he had recently overheard a peer refer to him derisively as the “C-S-No.” That was painful to hear because it brought into focus one of his most strategic challenges, one that security leaders everywhere are facing. That is, we as an industry haven’t figured out how to remain effective and relevant within

Is security killing your digital transformation?

Source – sdtimes.com Hackers love traditional security. So do your competitors. Want to ruin their day? Forget what you know about how faster development increases risk. If your approach to security is slowing you down, it’s only a question of which you’ll lose faster — your data or your customers.

The changing face of security in the age of the cloud

The scenario is familiar: You’re streaming data from multiple sources into your SEIM systems, and you’ve configured triggers for the reporting process. You keep a close eye on results from automated tests on software running in production. All of your monitoring tools indicate your code is running flawlessly and there are zero errors.

IT Security Practices Being Eyed Earlier in App Development: Study

Source – windowsitpro.com In the past, IT security in the application building process has often been addressed as an after-thought, usually brought up at the last minute, just after the desired application and code were created. Since 2014, however, that frequent pattern has been changing as more security emphasis is apparently being brought into application development earlier in its creation, according to a recent DevSecOps study on enterprise security practices, released by Sonatype. The report, the 2017 DevSecOps Community Survey, found that in 2014, the last time
