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.

Summary

We discussed the importance of the whole team's involvement with threat modeling practices and the STRIDE examples (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privilege).

There are several tools and methodologies to do threat modeling. If you would like to have a DFD/threat diagram designer, you can use the Microsoft threat modeling tool, OWASP Threat Dragon, or Mozilla SeaSponge. If you have a small team and would like to do threat modeling via a card game team activity, the Microsoft EOP card game and OWASP Cornucopia are recommended.

We also introduced some threat libraries such as CAPEC, ATT&CK, and CWE, which can also support threat identification during threat modeling. We also discussed a threat modeling case study, and we understood the pros and cons of using threat modeling designers and card games.
