Deep dives
The Necessity of Integrating Security into DevOps
As technology advances, network failures become more common due to code errors. The reliance on computer systems for infrastructure highlights the vital need to integrate security within DevOps practices. Automation plays a key role, addressing scalability issues, like password breaches involving weak credentials. The evolution of security standards to keep up with DevOps speed is crucial for maintaining reliability and preventing widespread failures.
Cultural Shifts and Automation in Security Practices
Security is gaining importance in software development, requiring a cultural shift where security is not an afterthought. Embracing automation not only speeds up security processes but also ensures a proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities. Game Day exercises, inspired by the firefighting incident command system, help organizations prepare for system failures and build a culture of operational excellence.
Future Perspectives in DevSecOps and Data Handling Challenges
DevOps adoption is on the rise, emphasizing the integration of security practices. The future envisions a seamless fusion of automation and holistic security attitudes throughout software development. As data storage increases exponentially, addressing data utilization and implementing high-performance computing in open-source projects will be key challenges for organizations to navigate successfully.
Bad security and reliability practices can lead to outages that affect millions. It’s time for security to join the DevOps movement. And in a DevSecOps world, we can get creative about improving security.
Discovering one vulnerability per month used to be the norm. Now, software development moves quickly thanks to agile processes and DevOps teams. Vincent Danen tells us how that’s led to a drastic increase in what’s considered a vulnerability. Jesse Robbins, the former master of disaster at Amazon, explains how companies prepare for catastrophic breakdowns and breaches. And Josh Bressers, head of product security at Elastic, looks to the future of security in tech.
We can’t treat security teams like grumpy boogeymen. Hear how DevSecOps teams bring heroes together for better security.
These changes mean different things for everyone involved, and we’d love to hear your take. Drop us a line at redhat.com/commandlineheroes, we're listening...
