Among its evangelists and advocates, DevOps is about the cultural shift from traditional silo groups to the integration of a DevOps team. DevOps teams speak about change, feedback, inclusiveness, and collaboration. The goal is to bring everyone who has a seat at the table onto a common platform to work together and deliver changes to business systems safely and securely. Companies that choose to go through digital transformation use DevOps as their platform to deliver software at speed and scale.

The Presidential Executive Order made it clear that the status quo, where the hidden vulnerabilities in cyber supply chains left doors wide open to attackers, can no longer be allowed to persist. It correctly identified transparency as the key principle to build trust and Software Bills of Material as a critical first step of the solution. But while much of the current debate is focused on how to build SBOMs, further and deeper thinking is needed on how to share them.

At Rezilion, we eliminate friction in the DevSecOps process by identifying which vulnerabilities pose an actual risk to an organization. This dynamic approach allows us to filter out unloaded vulnerabilities and reduce the workload of the security and development teams. Because we need to analyze the process we also need to understand its runtime environment (native, c#, java, python, etc.) and based on its runtime, analyze it differently.

DevSecOps is a practice that integrates security into DevOps. It emphasizes a continuous process in which development, security, and operations collaborate and work to not only innovate and push code, but also ensure security is built in throughout.

The theme for the final week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is “Cybersecurity First,” which could be the motto of many corporate security executives. Cybersecurity should be a high priority for anything technology related, but in truth it’s often an afterthought or even neglected entirely. Many business leaders and users still view security as a hindrance—rather than something that can coexist with productivity and innovation.

DevSecOps combines the responsibilities of development, security and operations in order to make everyone accountable for security in line with the ongoing activities conducted by development and operations teams. DevSecOps tools serve to assist the user in minimising risk as part of the development process and also support security teams by allowing them to observe the security implications of code in production.

There’s a shift in the world of DevOps. It is no longer enough to create applications and just launch them into the cloud. In a world where entire businesses can exist online, securing your digital assets is as important as creating them. This is where DevSecOps comes in. It is the natural progression of DevOps — with security being a focus as much as the process of creating and launching applications.

DevOps has transformed the software development industry. The merging of development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams has largely contributed to quick and effective software releases. The continuous evolution of the application security threat landscape requires organizations to integrate security into the DevOps culture. Thus, DevSecOps has emerged to extend the capabilities of DevOps and enable enterprises to release secure software faster.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the U.S. government’s annual reminder that information security is something everyone needs to consider. Each week of the month has a specific theme, and this week’s topic should be of interest to every CISO: Fight the Phish! There are many layers of defense that organizations can put in place to mitigate phishing, and DevSecOps can be part of that effort. But more on that later. First, let’s look at the current phishing landscape.
