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 analysis using big data frameworks

After discussing some of the common techniques for detecting unknown potential threats, we are going to introduce some open source frameworks to do security analysis with threat intelligence and big data technologies. You may consider applying these open source solutions as a basis if you are planning to build a security log analysis framework that can do the following:

  • Machine learning and correlation with the IoCs
  • Analysis involving external threat intelligence feeds
  • Data enrichment such as GeoIP information
  • Visualization and querying of the relationships of IoCs
