Implementing DevSecOps Practices

By: Vandana Verma Sehgal

Overview of this book

DevSecOps is built on the idea that everyone is responsible for security, with the goal of safely distributing security decisions at speed and scale to those who hold the highest level of context. This practice of integrating security into every stage of the development process helps improve both the security and overall quality of the software. This book will help you get to grips with DevSecOps and show you how to implement it, starting with a brief introduction to DevOps, DevSecOps, and their underlying principles. After understanding the principles, you'll dig deeper into different topics concerning application security and secure coding before learning about the secure development lifecycle and how to perform threat modeling properly. You’ll also explore a range of tools available for these tasks, as well as best practices for developing secure code and embedding security and policy into your application. Finally, you'll look at automation and infrastructure security with a focus on continuous security testing, infrastructure as code (IaC), protecting DevOps tools, and learning about the software supply chain. By the end of this book, you’ll know how to apply application security, safe coding, and DevSecOps practices in your development pipeline to create robust security protocols.

Techniques involved in chaos engineering

The approach an organization takes to chaos engineering will vary depending on the organization’s size, industry, and systems in place. Some organizations may have a dedicated team or department that is responsible for performing chaos engineering experiments, while others may include chaos engineering as a part of their overall security or reliability testing.

Some organizations may have a more formalized process for conducting chaos engineering experiments, including defined scope, objectives, and safety mechanisms. Others may have a more ad hoc approach, conducting experiments on an as-needed basis.

Some organizations may also use specialized tools and platforms for performing chaos engineering experiments, while others may rely on manual testing methods.

The organization should also document the results and use that to improve incident response plans, security, and user experience.
