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.

Secure coding awareness training

The purpose of secure coding training is to inform the development team of the forthcoming secure coding practices we are going to perform. At the initial stage of the secure coding awareness training, the focus will be mainly on the following:

  • What are secure coding standards or baselines?
  • What are common industry secure coding issues?
  • How will they impact on a developer's daily tasks?
  • Release criteria for secure code scanning

A case study or scenario-based vulnerable source code example will have better training effects than simply secure coding rules. The following are good references in this area and provide a lot of vulnerable and secure best practice code samples:
