Are you building DevSecOps pipeline in your company? 🤔🤨😎 Here are my tips and few cents to the topic. I am in DevOps Cloud Security for quite few years. Engineering leadership can fall into massive traps around SBOMS and similar mechanisms. 👈 SBOM will not save you, it's also easily falsible. Take it as a map of your components. If you want to make it useful build a query engine and signing mechanism for SBOMs. Feed them with event-driven triggers into software composition analysis. But still, will not save you. 😇 The verification pipeline is nonsense. There is no way that duplicate pipeline cross-check will bring you any value. 🤓 Sign containers, code, and packages. Period. Verify the signatures. ✏ It's all about the jobs you build in your CI, including a hashmap of the jobs, SCA in every push, SAST, secret scan, automated infra as code reviews, and linting. 📒 CD aka post-deployment testing is a must. You must test the software and infra after you deploy it. (aka post-deployment verification). DAST is a typical example. But you can run post-deploy cloud scanners like Prowler etc. 💡 Attestations will work for you right after you solve all the above and have a strong PKI foundation. 🔓 Policy engines such as OPA are your daily bread and butter. ⚙ You must scan your IAC. No excuses. 💂♂️ Everything must happen in PR and dev flow. Everything. 🤗 Continuously reinvent and improve. Change what makes sense and add what is missing. 🧭 Conventional and signed commits are a nice cherry on top. 🍒 After this, you have a solid base for starting your devsecops pipeline.

🔔 Securing DevOps: Pre-Release Best Practices In the DevOps dynamic landscape, ensuring application security before release is crucial. By implementing proactive measures during the pre-release stage, organizations can mitigate risks and foster a culture of secure software development. The Pre-Release Security Pillars: 1⃣. Code Quality Assurance: Integrating linting and code quality tools into VCS and CI processes to enforce best practices and organizational policies. 2⃣. Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Analyzing source code and binaries to scan for known vulnerabilities, enabling early threat detection and remediation. 3⃣. Secrets Scanning: Ensuring sensitive information like credentials and API keys are not exposed in the codebase, promoting secure handling through dedicated secrets management systems. 4⃣. Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Identifying and scanning third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities in underlying open-source components. 5⃣. Container Scanning: Analyzing pre-built container images to identify vulnerabilities in the underlying operating systems and software releases. Modern DevOps platforms like GitLab Secure, JFrog Xray, Snyk, Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, and CrowdStrike offer comprehensive pre-release security tools, enabling organizations to address vulnerabilities and deliver secure applications proactively.

🌐🔐 Day 2: Security as Code in DevSecOps - Fortifying Our Digital Fortresses! 🚀🛡️ DevSecOps Trailblazers, welcome to the second day of our #DevSecOps exploration, where we dive deep into the concept of "Security as Code." Today, we unravel the powerful practice of embedding security controls and policies directly into our codebase, transforming security into a proactive and integral part of the development lifecycle. *Why Security as Code Matters: 🛡️ Proactive Security Integration: - By embedding security into code, we shift security left in the development process, catching vulnerabilities early and preventing security issues downstream. 🚀 Automated Security Policies: - Security as Code enables the automation of security policies, ensuring consistent and standardized security controls across applications. 🌐 Agile and DevOps Harmony: - Seamlessly integrate security practices into the #agile and #DevOps workflows, fostering a collaborative and efficient development environment. *Exploring Security as Code: 🛠️ Infrastructure as Code Security: - Integrate security controls into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts, ensuring the security of your infrastructure deployment. 📜 Code Scanning and Analysis: - Implement code scanning tools to automatically analyze code for security vulnerabilities, identifying and remediating issues early. 🌐 Policy as Code: - Embrace the concept of Policy as Code, where security policies are codified and applied as part of the development process. *Exercise: Integrating Security Controls into IaC Let's embark on a hands-on journey to fortify our digital fortresses: 1. Select #IaC Security Tools: - Choose tools that align with Security as Code principles, such as #Terraform Security Sentinel or #AWS Config Rules. 2. Implement Code Scanning: - Set up automated code scanning using tools like #SonarQube or #Snyk, ensuring continuous code security analysis. 3. Policy as Code Implementation: - Codify and apply security policies using tools like Open Policy Agent (#OPA), embedding security checks into our development pipeline. #SecurityAsCode #DevSecOpsFortress #AutomatedSecurity #SecureDevelopment 🚀 Join us as we fortify our digital landscapes through the integration of security into our code, fostering a culture of proactive security in DevSecOps! 🌟🔐 #Day2Adventures

Kubernetes deployments getting complex? Struggling with configuration drift and reliability issues? There's a better way. A new blog from @BreachFactor explains how GitOps and ArgoCD can transform your workflows for the better. With GitOps, you define desired infrastructure state in Git. ArgoCD auto-syncs environments to match that state. This enables continuous deployment as you push changes to repo. Get automated CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes! Other benefits include: -Infrastructure as Code for consistency across clusters -Rollback bad changes easily via Git history -Built-in health tracking to monitor deployments -RBAC, SSO access controls for security ArgoCD has quickly become a leading open source GitOps tool for Kubernetes. Adopting it leads to increased stability, visibility, and developer velocity. Want to simplify Kubernetes management? Transform deployments? Read the full blog for a detailed overview of ArgoCD and how to integrate it. https://lnkd.in/eb2WQUEg #DevOps #GitOps #Kubernetes

Spending too much time gathering K8s pod logs and state info for your developers? Depending on how you host K8s and manage deployments, ArgoCD might be for you. Give your devs the power to view pod logs, view deployment state/health, and even kill pods (only in lower environments of course, **queue RBAC🔒**). #argocd #platformengineering #kubernetes

To realize the complete advantage of the agility of a #devops approach, #itsecurityoperations must also play an integrated role in the entire application development life cycle. Therefore, a DevOps framework demands security as a shared integrated responsibility end-to-end. This is where “DevSecOps” comes into the picture to accentuate the need to inculcate a security foundation into DevOps initiatives. Some of the key benefits of implementing #devsecops are: 💡 Robust Application Security 💡Collaboration & Ownership 💡Streamlined Application Delivery 💡Limit Security Vulnerabilities 💡Quick & Cost-effective Software Delivery 💡Ease of scalability DevSecOps adoption is on the rise, though still emerging as a best practice for developing secure, high-quality code. As DevSecOps practices pick up, the industry is seeing many parallel and facilitating technology trends that would contribute towards the growth of DevSecOps adoption. From Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC), AIOps & GitOps, Serverless Architecture, and Kubernetes infrastructure, these technologies will help organizations innovate faster without sacrificing security and product quality, & enable collaboration between teams, and automate processes that ensure quality control.

DevOps Roadmap for Security-to read more https://lnkd.in/em-BYykR https://lnkd.in/egjsNgHF Good security practices and better security outcomes are enabled by DevOps practices. As DevOps practices improve, DevSecOps naturally follows. High- evolution organizations have shifted left, with majorities integrating security into requirements (51%), design (61%), build (53%), and testing (52%).

Application security is difficult, especially when security is separate from your DevOps workflow. Security has traditionally been the final hurdle to conquer in the development lifecycle. Join us in this three-hour hands-on workshop to better understand how to successfully shift security left to find and fix security flaws during development - and to do so more efficiently and with greater visibility and control than typical approaches can provide.
