Sehgal Vandana Verma. Implementing DevSecOps Practices: Supercharge your software security with DevSecOps excellence

Packt Publishing, 2023. — 258 p.Key Features:
Understand security posture management to maintain a resilient operational environment
Master DevOps security and blend it with software engineering to create robust security protocols
Adopt the left-shift approach to integrate early-stage security in DevSecOpsThis 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.What you will learn:
Find out how DevSecOps unifies security and DevOps, bridging a significant cybersecurity gap
Discover how CI/CD pipelines can incorporate security checks for automatic vulnerability detection
Understand why threat modeling is indispensable for early vulnerability identification and action
Explore chaos engineering tests to monitor how systems perform in chaotic security scenarios
Find out how SAST pre-checks code and how DAST finds live-app vulnerabilities during runtime
Perform real-time monitoring via observability and its criticality for security managementWho this book is for:
