What Is DevSecOps? A Complete Guide To Secure Software Delivery

DevSecOps Overview 

DevSecOps, which connects development, security and operations, is a framework designed to incorporate security into every stage of the software development lifecycle. Organizations implement this strategy to reduce the risk of launching code that contains security vulnerabilities.  

Traditionally, security measures were often considered only at the end of the development process, almost as a secondary consideration, with a separate security team implementing these measures, followed by a separate quality assurance (QA) team verifying them. DevSecOps plays a vital role in a comprehensive multicloud security strategy. 

DevSecOps transforms security from a constraint to a collective responsibility that includes development, operations, and security teams. With the right DevSecOps services, organizations can maintain the rapid pace of DevOps while also effectively mitigating risks by automating security checks and incorporating them into CI/CD pipelines, as well as continuously monitoring applications in production.  Continue reading “What Is DevSecOps?

A Complete Traffic Flow Guide to Using Kong Gateway in Kubernetes

Introduction

In today’s cloud-native ecosystem, managing API traffic efficiently is crucial for application performance and security. As organizations migrate to microservices architectures on Kubernetes, the need for a robust API Gateway becomes paramount. Enter Kong Gateway — a powerful solution that acts as the intelligent traffic director for your Kubernetes cluster.

Having worked with multiple API gateway solutions in production environments, I’ve found Kong Gateway to be exceptionally well-suited for Kubernetes deployments. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through how Kong Gateway orchestrates traffic flow within a Kubernetes cluster, using a real-world Grafana deployment as our example.

How to Build a Successful DevSecOps Pipeline?

Introducing DevSecOps!

With critical DevSecOps services coming to the fore, businesses have actually begun to realize how important it is to ensure security within each stage of the DevOps lifecycle. But still, there are many who do have proper clarity on the difference between DevOps and DevSecOps. No matter, you call it “DevOps” or “DevSecOps,” the term is related to the process of including security practices as a major part of the entire app life cycle. 

DevSecOps, in simple words, means development, security and operations. It’s a process of implementing security practices and actions in the DevOps lifecycle. It’s all about embedding security features and enhanced automation throughout the CI/CD pipeline for removing mistakes and reducing attacks & downtime.
