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.

Case study background

Richard is the CTO of an online bookstore and manages around 500 developers. Richard would like to work with the security team to apply standard security practices during the architecture review, design review, and third-party framework review, and also apply secure coding. Both Richard and the security team reached the consensus that they should have the following in order to prepare for the next stage of their business development:

  • Secure design checklist
  • Recommended secure design pattern
  • A list of reusable third-party components

Let's look at how the security team helps Richard through the stages of development.
