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.

Consolidated testing results

If your security team has performed the security testing using various kinds of security tools, one of the challenges is the consolidation of all the output. The BDD framework that we looked at previously is one of the solutions. However, if you don't build another BDD framework and would just like to consolidate all the testing outputs, then OWASP DefectDojo may be the solution for you (see https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo for more information).

The key advantage of using DefectDojo to consolidate all the security testing tool outputs is the ability to present the results in one dashboard alongside the metrics, as shown in the following screenshot:

The following table shows the open source security tool output formats that DefectDojo can import:
