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.

It's against the law to do security or penetration testing without permission. Developing the skills of security testing requires a proper testing environment or a training platform. These security-testing environments are purpose-built vulnerable web or mobile applications. Some security-testing environments even provide online tutorials to guide you through the security-testing tips. Refer to the OWASP projects listed below for a comprehensive list of online or offline virtualization images for the security-testing environment. If it's possible, set up an in-house security-testing environment instead of using the external online testing site. Here are some vulnerable application projects that can help to build a security-testing environment. Be aware that these are vulnerable applications, so set up these applications in a security-controlled...
