These days, when a developer needs a CI/CD pipeline, they don’t always dive into GitHub Actions docs or spin up Jenkins from scratch. Instead, they pull up an AI assistant and type out something like: “Create a deployment pipeline for a containerized application.” Seconds later, the AI spits out a complete workflow. It looks polished. […]
Worms in the Supply Chain: Shai-Hulud and the Next DevOps Reckoning
DevOps was supposed to make software delivery faster, safer and more reliable. For the most part, it has. But every so often, something nasty crawls out of the shadows and reminds us how fragile the system really is. It wasn’t a zero-day in Kubernetes or a cloud misconfiguration that caught my eye. It was a […]
Shift Left With DAST: Dynamic Testing in the CI/CD Pipeline
By focusing on application security like an attacker would, DAST can discover potential security threats that static testing methods might miss.
3 Must-Haves When Implementing DevSecOps
The term DevSecOps is already more than a dozen years old. DevOps—the practice of combining software development with IT operations to deploy applications faster—was first coined in 2008 and refined in a historic conference presentation in 2009. DevSecOps—the concept of baking in security at every stage of Agile development, rather than tackling it at the […]
What to Expect When Transitioning to DevSecOps
How do you ensure your DevOps pipeline is secure? Does DevSecOps protect you against serious breaches or is it just a way to allay the concerns of stakeholders about security in DevOps? A data breach can cost an average of $3.92 million USD, as per IBM’s study Cost of a Data Breach. In this report, […]
A Blueprint for Securing Software Development
Software development has changed dramatically in recent years, as technologies like DevOps, application containers, and cloud-native transform how software is built and distributed. Unfortunately, attackers have been paying close attention to these changes, and have retooled their attack strategies to take advantage of relatively weak security controls in software development and build environments. Attackers recognize […]
