DevSecOps
Overview
DevSecOps is an agile practice that integrates security by design in your software development pipeline of Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD) and Continuous Security (CS).
By shifting security left on DevOps, you achieve a much more resilient software product and stay better prepared to face the new cyber security challenges.
Challenges for Organisations
- Some organisations fail to adopt DevSecOps practices due to resistance from the DevOps team, lack of expertise or adoption without the right automation tools
- Siloed organisations have more difficulties to adopt agile practices like DevOps. Processes like Change Management need to be implemented first to change organisation mindset
- Inadequate security practices will compromise the most robust and efficient DevOps activities and compromise the efficiency of the CI/CD
- Cybercriminals are shifting left, too, by compromising developers through social engineering techniques to get access to their boxes, deploying malicious scripts in the release pipelines and gaining access to production data through test environments
Our Services
allow a seamless integration of DevSecOps cyber security tools and processes through automation and orchestration.
Our services are covering all the DevSecOps pillars.
Plan
DevOps: Integrate tools like JIRA or Azure DevOps.
Our security services: Training on secure code and architectural weaknesses. Define security metrics and perform Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment.
Code
Start coding your application. Typically, the most time-consuming phase of the software development process.
DevOps: Choose the proper IDE and plugins to interact with your testing tools.
Our security services: IDE integration with security plugins to interact with Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools to fix and detect defects early.
Build
DevOps: Automate and orchestrate your tasks with Jenkins or TeamCity.
Our security services: Intelligent Orchestration, SAST, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and manual code review.
Test
DevOps: Set up tools like Selenium, JUnit, Cucumber or others.
Our security services: Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), SAST, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Fuzzy testing.
Release
Schedule the release or deploy multiple releases to the Production environment and start a new cycle.
DevOps: Bamboo, Jira or Azure pipeline, are common tools at this step.
Our security services: Secure configurations and packaging for deployment. Release zero-defect code on configuration-managed immutable infrastructure.
Deploy
DevOps: Chef, Puppet or Ansible manage IaC and manage configurations.
Our security services: Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)/Security-as-Code (SaC), Penetration Testing, Malicious code detection, Container Security, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
Operate
DevOps: Chef, Puppet or Ansible tools to leverage IaC.
Our security services: Patch and upgrade management for Zero-day vulnerabilities, Red-Teaming, IaC/SaC, ongoing DAST assessment.
Monitor
Collect and monitor in real-time information about your systems and verify compliance with policies and standards.
DevOps: Deploy monitoring tools like Datadog, Grafana or Splunk.
Our security services: Real-time Log analysis, Auditing, Threat Intelligence.
