Your organization has already embraced the DevOps methodology? That’s a great start. But what about security? It’s a fact - many organizations fear that adding security to their DevOps practices will severely slow down their development processes. But this doesn’t need to be the case. the DevOps pipeline

Container images are based on many direct and indirect open source dependencies, which most developers are not aware of.

Thanks to containerization and automation, applications are being developed and delivered faster than ever. With tools such as AWS ECR, developers are able to store, manage and deploy Docker container images without having to worry about operating their own container repositories or scaling the underlying infrastructure. With this, however, arise challenges around managing the security and compliance aspect of your container images. With tools such as WhiteSource, developers are able to manage the security of their containers and container images with no impact on agility and speed.

Application security is a top priority today for companies that are developing software. However, it is also becoming more challenging and complex as release frequency continues to rise, more open source components are adopted, and the requirements for data security are getting stricter. Thanks to new DevOps practices and tools, development cycles are getting shorter, allowing organizations to meet market demands and deliver a superior customer experience, but is application security keeping up?

Is your organization ready to embrace a DevOps mindset? Receive a pragmatic view from an agent of chaos, who’s promoting the goal for a single continuous integration and delivery pipeline, shifting testing, security, code reviews, and other opportunities to improve information sharing and quality to the left, shifting configuration to the right, and most importantly, aiming to delight users with constant value.

It is no secret - open source has become the main building block in modern applications, and it is almost impossible to develop software at today's pace without it. However, as the open source community grows, and the number of reported vulnerabilities keeps climbing, manually verifying the security and compliance of open source components can no longer provide the necessary control over the security of these components.

Over the past few years, open source has grown in popularity especially among developers using open source code in their application development efforts. In the security space, however, open source hasn’t been as widely embraced, mostly because of concerns over vulnerabilities. But is open source software really less secure?

Last week The Forrester Wave™: Software Composition Analysis, Q2 2019 was published. We took part in MediaOps panel discussion to discuss the results of the report and which SCA vendors are right for software development and security teams and their needs.

Amid all the talk of shifting left, mingling the DevOps and Security tribes and how can we do code better, faster and with more quality a funny thing happened. Security vendors are developing security tools for devs and DevOps. The security team still pays for them, but they won't buy them without Dev and DevOps buy in. What does this mean for 2020? Will we see better "quality (codeword for security)" in our apps? What should security teams be doing to make this happen? What should Devs and DevOps teams do to adopt these new developer-friendly tools? Is 2020 the year DevSecOps makes a difference?
