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.

Case Study - Security Assurance Program

Since we have covered the security requirements and security assurance program in previous chapters, in this chapter, we will discuss two case studies looking at the security assurance program and security practices in the DevOps process. Microsoft SDL and SAMM were introduced to apply to the security assurance program. In addition to the process, the non-technical parts, security training, and culture are also critical to the success of the security program. We will also give an example of how security tools and web security framework can help during the whole DevOps process.

In this chapter, we will learn about the following topics:

  • Microsoft SDL and SAMM
  • Security training and awareness
  • Security culture
  • Baking security tools into DevOps
  • Web security frameworks
