DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity. In fast-moving projects, security often lags behind and given low priority which may lead to buggy code and hacks. Let’s see how we can reduce the risk of attack by integrating security in our DevOps pipeline. By Alok Maurya.

The article then reads about:

  • What is to DevSecOps (DevOps + Security)
  • What are the benefits of using DevSecOps?
  • How to make security culture your default state?
  • Plan/Design
  • Develop
  • Build and code analysis
  • Test
  • Deploy
  • Monitoring and Alerting
  • Best practices to secure your infrastructure for DevSecOps CI/CD

… and more. Each section above is full fo details, with code and config examples. Implementing DevSecOps best practices reduces the risk of vulnerabilities and hacking. Scanning all parts of your infrastructure and application gives full visibility of potential threats and possible ways to remediate them. “The only way to do security right is to have multiple layers of security” hence we talked about multiple methods and tools that can be used for finding vulnerabilities.
