Book Description

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.

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 management

Who this book is for
