Security is a top priority of every company. It’s not surprising… Source code, the most critical asset of any organization, should be under reliable protection… especially in view of constantly arising threats. Ransomware, infrastructure outages, vulnerabilities, and other threats can strike your GitHub repository at any time.

Let’s start with statistics: continuous integration, deployment, and delivery is among the top IT investment priorities in 2023 and 2024. To be exact, according to GitLab’s 2024 Global DevSecOps report, it is on the 8th place (and security is the top priority!). However, it shouldn’t be surprising, as CI/CD practice brings a lot of benefits to IT teams – it helps to accelerate software delivery and detect vulnerabilities and bugs earlier.

With the threat landscape being on the rise, CISOs need to be much more attentive while building the organization’s security strategy. Constantly arising vulnerabilities, ransomware attacks, critical workflows, outages – all of that require CISOs to stay up to date to security issues and keep their finger on the pulse to change their security strategy once the prerequisites pop up. We’ve been tracking GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian -related incidents for the latest few years…

Are you aware of cyber risks in DevOps and how they can impact your business? Turn on the DevOps Backup Masterclass Podcast to join our host ⁠Gregory Zagraba⁠ and explore the biggest cyber threats to DevOps environments, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira with an ultimate review of the Top 2023 risks.

Want to be proactive and mitigate risks? Have your source code backed up… Try GitProtect.io backups for DevOps tools. In software engineering, by risks we mean events or factors that pose a possibility to impact the outcome of a project. These risks can be both internal and external. Managing them involves: detecting, assessing, and dealing with vulnerabilities that could affect the project.

As one of the leading platforms for distributed version control, Bitbucket is a hub that helps DevOps teams collaborate on code. This critical data, including source code, digital data, and we shouldn’t forget metadata that helps them to see the full picture of their work, is vital for their operations and business continuity. So, should they have the possibility to seamlessly import this data from Bitbucket and export to Bitbucket? The answer is yes.
