As developers, we’re constantly under pressure to innovate at speed. In 2022, 60% of developers who responded to a GitLab survey acknowledged that code is moving to production at an increasingly faster clip–up to five times faster than in previous years. But juggling tight deadlines with ever-evolving security threats is no joke. When prioritizing speed, unsafe code eventually slips into production.

DevOps Midwest 2023 brought together experts in scale, availability, and security best practices. Read some of the highlights from this DevSecOps-focused event.

It’s April, designated National Supply Chain Integrity month by CISA, NCSC, ONCD and Department of Defense, to promote resources, tools, and information to help organizations and agencies secure their supply chains and build resilience. But what role does blockchain play in supply chain and how easy is it to implement? Blockchain technology has numerous potential applications in supply chain due to its ability to provide a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof ledger of transactions.

We’re very pleased with our Python SDK, Jupyter Notebooks, and our OpenAPI Developer Console but sometimes we all want a bit more fine control or command chaining than those can offer. One of my favourite tools for such situations is, of course, Postman. It can make interacting with RKVST super quick and easy, and help you develop custom workflows for storing and validating your digital evidence ledgers.

Tools like Code Dx that support automation are the answer to faster software development delivery cadence. Automation is a key component of the secure DevOps, or DevSecOps, approach. Automation is how organizations establish security gates, and it can be used to prioritize findings and triage their remediation response.

Application Security Orchestration and Correlation uses processes and automation to help accelerate vulnerability testing and mitigation. In 2022, Synopsys commissioned the SANS Institute to investigate how firms are aligning their development, security, and operations teams with the organizational values, practices, and tools that compose the secure DevOps, or DevSecOps, approach.

Intelligent Orchestration takes the complexity out of DevSecOps by delivering the right tests, at the right time, to the right people. The modern software development life cycle is characterized by rapid DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines. Facebook delivers between 50,000 and 60,000 Android builds each day. Amazon reportedly deploys new software to production every second, and the Netflix DevOps team deploys new releases 100 times each day.

Building a successful DevSecOps strategy based on collaboration is key to its success. First, what is DevSecOps? It’s is a practice that combines development, security and operations. It is an extension of DevOps and it advocates for integrating security at the outset of the development process–instead of waiting until the end.

Freshen up how you build security into the software pipeline. In this article, we’re looking at the seven core principles of DevSecOps: Let’s get started.
