Event Description

Simplified Cybersecurity Series: DevSecOps concept

1. Automated Security Checks: Utilize SCA(Software Composition Analysis), SAST(Static Application Security Testing), and DAST(Dynamic Application Security Testing) to automatically verify the security of code and applications.

2. Continuous Monitoring: Continuously monitor user activity, system logs, and network traffic to detect any suspicious or malicious behavior.

3. CI/CD Automaton : Automate the build, testing, deployment, and security checks of applications as part of the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.

4. Infrastructure as Code (iaC): Implement Infrastructure as Code (iaC) and configuration managenent to ensure consistency and security across all environments.

5. Container Security: Implement image and runtime security measures and scan images for any vulnerabilities.

6. Secret Management: Manage API keys,passwords, and certificates securely to prevent unauthorized access.

7. Threat Modeling: Conduct regular threat modeling exercises to identify potential threats, Vulnerabilities, and risks.

8. Quality Assurance (QA) Integration : Embed QA practices into the development lifecycle to ensure that security is considered throughout the software development process.

9. Collaboration and Communication : Foster a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement to become more risk-averse as an organization.

10. Vulnerability Management : Utilize Vulnerability scanning tools to identify and prioritize Vulnerabilities, and Continuously apply fixes to mitigate risk.
