In the previous article, we covered the build and test process and why it’s important to use automated scanning tools for security scanning and remediation. The build pipeline compiles the software and packages into an artifact. The artifact is then stored in a repository (called a registry) where it can be retrieved by the release pipeline during the release process.
Bearer is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool that enables security and engineering teams to identify and mitigate data security risks throughout the software development lifecycle. It integrates with Source Code Management (SCM) software (see Git repository integrations for more details) to scan your code repositories, discover and classify data flows, and detect gaps with your data security policy.
Nissan North America learned a painful lesson when the source code for its mobile apps and internally developed tools leaked online after the company misconfigured one of its Git servers. The Git server was left exposed to the internet because it used its default username and password of admin/admin, one of its engineers said.
CI/CD is a method to regularly deliver applications to customers by introducing automation into the stages of software development. It’s where organizations integrate all of the processes that go into delivering software. The main concepts attributed to CI/CD are continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment. But the CI/CD pipeline can also be a target of exploits and compromise.
Rapid and constantly-evolving software development cycles have increased the need for reliable and fast infrastructure changes. Thus manually carrying out infrastructure changes has become an unscalable process – which is what Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools are here to solve. They enable teams to codify their infrastructure configurations and integrate them directly into their CI/CD pipelines.
As the partnership between Snyk and Atlassian continues to grow, we decided to put together a best practices cheat sheet to help you make the most of our integration with Bitbucket. This will help you use Bitbucket more securely to manage and store your code, as well as continuously monitor your code and dependencies for potential vulnerabilities using Snyk. Here are the seven best practices we’ll discuss in this post: Download the cheat sheet
In cloud native computing (Kubernetes in our case), there is a requirement to automatically scale the compute resources used for performing a task. The autoscaling cloud computer strategy allows to dynamically adjust the active number of application servers and allocated resources instead of responding manually in real-time to traffic surges that necessitate more resources and instances.
The simplest way to manage and organize your Go dependencies is with a Go Repository. You need reliable, secure, consistent and efficient access to your dependencies that are shared across your team, in a central location. Including a place to set up multiple registries, that work transparently with the Go client. With the JFrog free cloud subscription, including JFrog Artifactory, Xray and Pipelines, you can set up a free local, remote and virtual Go Registry in minutes.
