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.

Threat Modeling Practices and Secure Design

After discussing security architecture and design principles, we will now introduce threat modeling security practices and tools. The adoption of threat modeling practices can help to reduce major security risks in the design phase. In addition, once the risks are identified, we will introduce how to apply OWASP secure design best practices to mitigate security risks.

The topics to be covered in this chapter are the following:

  • Threat modeling practices
  • Threat modeling with STRIDE
  • Diagram designer tool
  • Card game
  • Threat library references
  • Case study: formal documents or not?
  • Secure design
