There are many software security solutions available today designed to provide insight into important security issues found during software development. As organizations begin moving forward with DevOps initiatives, are their current Application Security Testing (AST) solutions doing the work they need them to accomplish? If you haven’t integrated AST automatically into your vulnerability detection, triage,
The application security testing (AST) world is made up of different solutions, all with one ultimate goal – to protect software from hackers, and their attacks. SAST and DAST are perhaps the two most common and well-known solutions. In the last few years, a newcomer has gradually received more-and-more attention – IAST. So what is
DevSecOps has become one of the hottest buzzwords in the DevOps and security ecosystem over the past couple of years. But what is it, and how do you turn it into reality? DevSecOps executes on the belief that security and development teams are jointly responsible for bolstering security – essentially bringing development and operations
DevOps is an evolving philosophy, and now is the time–just as you start embracing DevOps in your organization–to start building security into both your DevOps philosophy and processes. DevOps philosophy started with the core principles of W. Edwards Deming’s points on Quality Management, binding the development of services and their delivery to IT Operations. As
“DevOps” encompasses a wide range of topics – throw security in there and you’ve added even more. This roundup includes events throughout the year and around the globe, from small events to community conferences and up. Whether you’re passionate about software security, ethical hacking, software development, cloud security, or DevOps, there’s something on this list
Many organizations today are in the process of transitioning to a DevOps-centric approach, but don’t want to leave security behind. In order to build security in from the beginning of their software development process, it’s essential to enhance your security posture by integrating application security testing solutions into the software development life cycle at your
Everyone agrees that an enterprise’s application ecosystem must be protected, especially when data breaches are reported with alarming frequency and the average total cost of a breach comes in at $3.62 million. However, defeating increasingly severe threats requires a holistic approach to security, one that places an emphasis on managing not only application vulnerabilities but all

Is your software security program up to the challenges of a rapidly accelerating software delivery environment? Most aren’t – and it’s challenging to both identify the problems and determine the best ways to manage software security in a DevOps environment. Learn some of the essential best practices for managing software security now. Educate Your Team
The DevOps era brings together skyrocketing complexity with white-hot speed of delivery to create growing value and responsiveness in software design. Companies such as Amazon deploy code every 11 seconds, while Facebook executes 50,000 builds each day. With so much complexity and speed, the risk of security vulnerabilities slipping through the cracks is magnified intensely.
While at the 2018 Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas I asked attendees point blank if they think that security and DevOps should be in couples counseling. The universal response was a laugh and then a resounding, “Yes.” The reason couples go to couples counseling is because they’re not getting along. They’re not communicating. Usually, only
