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.

Diagram designer tool

These kinds of tool help you to draw the application diagrams (DFD), to mark the trust boundaries, and to label the threat attributes. The tools also include a threat library for users to select a threat from the library. It's an ideal tool to document the threat modeling analysis report. Normally, the application architecture and system diagram DFD were presented followed by the threat identification.

If your team is geographically distributed across several regions, or the threat modeling requires offline feedback with several roles across different time zones, using of the tool to produce the threat modeling analysis report is highly recommended.

The Microsoft Threat Modeling tool, OWASP Threat Dragon, and Mozilla SeaSponge are the tools in this category that allow you to draw DFD diagrams with threat analysis:
