WHAT ISWhat is DevOps Security?

If you’ve already done the hard work of integrating operations and development or are ready to make the switch, it’s the perfect time to weave complete security solutions into the process.

It’s is the process of applying strategies, policies, and technologies to safeguard the whole DevOps environment, to ensure effective security solutions throughout the entire DevOps lifecycle. For the most success, security should be built into every stage, including inception, design, test, release, support, maintenance, and more.

Challenges Of
DevOps Security

Focus on Speed

Focus on Speed Can Limit Security Solutions: Speed is at the forefront of DevOps, with teams pushing and modifying code over very short periods, often leading to speeds that security teams can’t effectively keep up with.

Resistance to Security

Resistance to Security: Many believe that introducing security to the development process will slow things down. In reality, catching a problem earlier in the development lifestyle is significantly more cost-effective than fixing one later.

Cloud Environments

Cloud Environments: DevOps development typically relies on cloud environments which bring with them added risks. Misconfigurations or security malpractices in these fast-paced and large scale environments can cause operational damage, compliance issues, and more across an organization.

DevOps Secrets

DevOps Secrets and Poor Access controls: An unfortunate shortcoming of DevOps is poor secrets and access control management, creating a vulnerability and attracting cyber attacks and cybercriminals that can interrupt security, disrupt operations, steal information, and more.
