Hands-On Security in DevOps

By: Tony Hsiang-Chih Hsu

Overview of this book

DevOps has provided speed and quality benefits with continuous development and deployment methods, but it does not guarantee the security of an entire organization. Hands-On Security in DevOps shows you how to adopt DevOps techniques to continuously improve your organization’s security at every level, rather than just focusing on protecting your infrastructure. This guide combines DevOps and security to help you to protect cloud services, and teaches you how to use techniques to integrate security directly in your product. You will learn how to implement security at every layer, such as for the web application, cloud infrastructure, communication, and the delivery pipeline layers. With the help of practical examples, you’ll explore the core security aspects, such as blocking attacks, fraud detection, cloud forensics, and incident response. In the concluding chapters, you will cover topics on extending DevOps security, such as risk assessment, threat modeling, and continuous security. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in implementing security in all layers of your organization and be confident in monitoring and blocking attacks throughout your cloud services.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about security testing toolkits. Based on the elements that are to be tested, there are Kali Linux, BlackArch, and PentestBox, which are the Linux security distributions that provide general security testing toolkits. As there are many tools, we suggested a minimum set of security tools to cover the white box review, web connection, vulnerability, and network security.

We also showed the key factors of security automation tools and compared the capabilities of some web security tools for supporting the CLI and REST API interfaces. The BDD Security framework was also introduced for the support of an automated framework. We looked at BDD Security, MITTN, and GauntIT.

Some other security testing tools were also discussed. For Android security testing, MobSF (Mobile Security Framework) was recommended for a quick-win, fully automated analysis platform...
