"In just the first nine months of 2023, data breaches in the US […] increased by nearly 20% compared to all of 2022 — and organizations around the world have faced similar trends," wrote MIT Sloan Management Review Information Technology Professor Stuart Madnick in his December 2023 paper, “The Continued Threat to Personal Data: Key Factors Behind the 2023 Increase.” In fact, the data itself is clear — now, more than ever, the ability to properly secure, distribute, and amplify data can make or break an enterprise’s bottom line. After all, US data breaches in 2023 cost breached companies an average of 9.48 million dollars. And the first step in that is integrating DevOps with Security — also known as DevSecOps. 💡 Learn more about DevSecOps in the video below, and reach out to learn how Formula.Monks can implement it for your organization.

Boosting Security and Speed: DevSecOps Tip for Government Agencies Government agencies are entrusted with safeguarding critical data while delivering efficient services. Enter DevSecOps – a powerful approach that merges development, security, and operations for enhanced outcomes. Here's a valuable tip for government agencies looking to harness the potential of DevSecOps: Shift Left Security Testing: In the DevSecOps journey, security isn't an afterthought; it's woven into every step. Begin by "shifting left" – incorporating security assessments early in the development process. This proactive approach catches vulnerabilities before they escalate, saving time and resources down the line. Why Shift Left? 1. Faster Remediation: Addressing security concerns early reduces delays. DevSecOps ensures that potential issues are identified and resolved swiftly, keeping projects on track. 2. Stronger Defenses: Early security checks fortify applications against potential breaches. The more you identify and mitigate risks upfront, the more robust your defenses become. 3. Cost-Efficiency: It's far more cost-effective to address security issues during development than in post-production. DevSecOps minimizes the expenses associated with last-minute fixes. 4. Collaboration: DevSecOps fosters collaboration between development and security teams. This alignment leads to a holistic understanding of security requirements and promotes a shared responsibility for secure outcomes. By embracing the DevSecOps principle of shifting left, government agencies can elevate their security posture while delivering services promptly. Let's create a digital environment where security and speed thrive hand in hand. #DevSecOps #GovernmentIT #SecurityFirst

Episode 229: Enhancing Security Posture Prioritising Data Protection in Organisations with Rad Kanapathipillai from DevOps1. Key Interview Takeaways: 1️⃣ Organisations must prioritise the protection of sensitive data from the development stage through production. 2️⃣ DevOps are facing challenges in integrating security measures into their workflows due to the pressure to bring products to market quickly. 3️⃣ There's a growing transition from DevOps to DevSecOps, emphasising the need to empower developers to code securely and collaborate with security teams. 4️⃣ Automation and AI are crucial in addressing issues related to standardised frameworks, infrastructure availability, and security bottlenecks. 🔒 Security Measures: - Encryption, compliance, protection of code and passwords are crucial in preventing data breaches. - Non-production environments are often overlooked but are equally vulnerable and require enhanced security measures. - Data masking and purging are essential but underutilised processes in organisations. Looking ahead: There's a significant shift expected in data protection over the next year, driven by increasing awareness programs and government compliance enforcement. Rad shed light on how organisations can bridge the gap between development and security teams, maintain security in non-production environments, and effectively protect sensitive information. I'll drop the link to the episode in the comments. Please don't forget to follow and subscribe to the show for the latest updates.

Global supply chain cyber-attacks are projected to surpass $80.6 billion by 2026. How can software companies help customers reduce these financial losses? Implement DevSecOps DevSecOps is a framework that integrates security throughout software development (SDLC), fostering collaboration between developers, security, and operations. It's a cultural shift making security a shared responsibility for building secure applications faster. 👇 3 Reasons Why DecSecOps is Essential for Secure Software Delivery 1 /// Customers Have Higher Expectations Security is no longer a checkbox to avoid trouble; it's a critical investment. Customers demand not just "secure-enough" products but the most secure options within their budget. 2 /// Shifting Security Left Secures Code Faster and Cheaper Security weaknesses are identified and addressed as code is written. This reduces lingering undetected vulnerabilities that become visible much later in development when they are more time-consuming and expensive to fix. 3 /// Breaking Down Silos Increases Developer Velocity Continuous collaboration between development, security, and operations teams seamlessly integrates security practices throughout the entire process. There's no longer the disruptive "security as an afterthought" problem often present in DevOps-only environments. According to a GitLab report, 58% of IT operations and security leaders said they have difficulty getting development to prioritize vulnerability remediation, underscoring the necessity of a DevSecOp approach. At EEP, we believe prioritizing security alongside development and operations is the way forward to deliver high-quality, secure applications that meet market demands.

DevSecOps is a trend in software development and operations that automates and accelerates the SDLC. However, it must be more widely adopted due to financial constraints and a mismatch between executives' priorities and security teams' risk management focus. Modern systems and 'policy as code' can improve security, user experience, and development pace. Open-source tools and Zero Trust principles can help organisations protect data and digital assets.
