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.

Security monitoring framework

Once the security detection solutions are in place, security monitoring management can be planned to perform security events correlation analysis. The purpose of the security monitoring framework is not to replace existing endpoint or network security solutions, it's to provide the security posture, the security trending, and the security events correlation of the whole environment. Some advanced security monitoring frameworks may even apply machine learning for the security events correlation to identify the abnormalities. Don't just assume that setting up a security monitoring management framework will do everything related to security monitoring. Building a complete security monitoring framework involves incorporating the following key components:

  • Log collector: This is responsible for collecting and forwarding all the logs to the security...
