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.

Summary

We’ve taken a long journey in this chapter, exploring what chaos engineering is all about. Far from being about causing destruction and disorder, chaos engineering is like a stress test for our digital systems, helping us find weaknesses and make them stronger. In a world where our digital systems are as complex as a spider’s web, chaos engineering is like a flashlight helping us see how to improve them.

Chaos engineering is a little like being a detective, making educated guesses about where weaknesses might lurk, running experiments, and seeing what we can learn. We found out that chaos engineering is a practical tool that can make our systems better at weathering the inevitable disruptions that come their way.

We’ve delved into how we can use different tools and techniques to carry out chaos engineering, and how important it is to have everyone on board – from the tech team right up to the boss. This isn’t something that can be done...
