SCITT in the information security context stands for “Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust”. It’s a relatively young discipline and the dust is still settling over its scope and definition but the core is very simple: risk vests in the operator of equipment, but it originates at every point in the supply chain.

The JFrog DevOps Platform is your mission-critical tool for your software development pipelines. The results of key binary management events in Artifactory, Xray, and Distribution can reveal whether or not your software pipelines are on-track to deliver production-quality releases.

DevSecOps is the key to achieving effective IT security in software development. By taking a proactive approach to security and building it into the process from the start, DevSecOps ensures improved application security. It also allows organizations to rapidly develop application security with fewer bottlenecks and setbacks. Some critical aspects of the DevSecOps approach and best practices can help organizations get started implementing this development strategy.

This is the fourth installment in a series about making DevSecOps work in your organization. The fourth and final pillar of DevSecOps—following discovery, validation and prioritization—is remediation. This is the step in the vulnerability management process that all the others lead to, and without it, there is essentially no point to going through any of the other phases. Not all remediation practices are equal, however.

Trust is a very broad and complex topic, and consequently there are very many definitions of Zero Trust that can be confusing as they try to capture the nuance and details and scope that the problem of trust raises.

This is the third installment in a series about making DevSecOps work in your organization. We’ve looked at the first two pillars of the DevSecOps model—discovery and validation. In this post we examine the third—prioritization. Discovery enables security and development teams to identify software vulnerabilities, and validation allows them to determine which of these flaws present actual security risks and which do not.

The software development process is one with strict deadlines. The pace of innovation does not slow down. Because of this, developers often find themselves frustration as they try to ensure that the product they’re producing delivers on customer expectations, while also limiting vulnerabilities. The balancing act between product security and meeting the needs of a time crunch can lead to a product being rushed to the market, leaving it vulnerable to unpatched exploits.
