DevSecOps: Where DevOps and Security Meet

Source – devops.com The DevOps methodology as a software and engineering culture goes back nearly 10 years—Patrick Debois coined the term when he named a Belgian software conference “devopsdays.” Since then, the movement has taken on a mind of its own, turning into the go-to strategy for enterprises the world over aiming to accelerate their development timelines and deliver better products faster. In the shifts and changes that have happened over the last decade, one has been the idea of “DevSecOps,”

ENABLING DEVOPS WITH A BETTER SECURITY STRATEGY

Source – datacenterjournal.com Survey data from Qualia suggests that as DevOps becomes mainstream, both organizational resources and budget allocation tied to measurable business outcomes will be attached to this method of rapid application development. DevOps enables a faster iterative process that drives innovation while doing more with less and increasing efficiency. It’s all a productive, well-oiled machine—until the security or auditing team arrives. When that happens, the challenging yet manageable pace is bogged down with additional (perceived unnecessary) impediments to getting the job

What is devsecops and why should your business care?

Source – techcentral.ie Although tacking on another three letters to the already heavily abbreviated ‘devops’ has the uncomfortable aura of word soup, ‘devsecops’ is a logical, essential continuation of the devops mindset. Devops is loosely defined as the process of breaking down silos within organisations so that developer and operations teams are working side by side, and using automation wherever possible, with the aim of working towards common goals and releasing better, more stable software at speed. Bringing security into that

How the new developer culture dictates development security

Source – sdtimes.com The 24×7 digital economy is requiring many organizations to release apps and application updates on a near-continuous basis in order to keep up with increasing customer demand—or face being left in the dust by competitors. Developer teams have their hands full trying to deliver functional, feature-rich updates on time. In this hyper-competitive environment, security is often too easy to deprioritize when faced with the pressure to get an app out the door. The rising trend of breaches from

When AI meets DevOps: Getting the best out of both worlds

Source – cloudcomputing-news.net DevOps has been widely embraced by businesses under pressure to get competitively advantageous digital deliverables to market at the fastest possible cadence—especially given the reality of limited coder headcount and the need to rigorously avoid brand-toxic snafus in the customer experience. Artificial intelligence (AI), in stark contrast, is a potentially transformative digital discipline that is still very new to most enterprise IT organizations. But while it’s certainly important that CIOs nurture AI adoption with appropriately resourced pilots, it’s

DevSecOps: 3 ways to bring developers, security together

Source – enterprisersproject.com Applications are the heart of the digital business, with code central to the infrastructure that powers it.

Speed and Security Can Coexist in Mainframe DevOps

Source – devops.com DevOps teams face a constant tug-of-war in their daily work, balancing the need for speedy rollouts of high-performing (fast, reliable) applications that are secure also. If the team moves too quickly, an overlooked security vulnerability may make its way into production. If the team is not nimble enough to identify those security gaps, it can slow down the entire development process, hampering organizational agility. The need to strike this critical balance has led to the rise of DevSecOps,

Application security needs to shift left

Source – sdtimes.com As teams are pressured to release software more rapidly, more and more aspects of software development are being forced to “shift left,” moving up earlier in the development lifecycle.
