3 security best practices for all DevSecOps teams – ARN
ARN – Isaac Sacolick (InfoWorld)
The article reflects on the progress of DevSecOps over the past decade and highlights the findings of the SANS DevSecOps Survey, pointing to the increasing focus on shifting security practices to the left in the development process.
The survey reveals that while over 50% of respondents addressed critical security risks in a week or less, a significant percentage did not assess security vulnerabilities at a comparable pace.
The article offers three key security practices for DevSecOps teams:
1.
Institute security in API-first strategies: The rise of API-centric development emphasizes the need for enhanced API security practices, as API vulnerabilities continue to pose significant threats that need careful consideration.
2.
Automate code scanning: Automated scanning tools are becoming essential to identify vulnerabilities early in the development process, helping to detect and fix security issues more efficiently.
3.
Standardize data observability practices: Standardizing practices can ensure that security observability covers the full stack, including application, integration, and cloud infrastructure, addressing challenges related to modern distributed applications, application observability, and extending observability into the dataops and machine learning model realm.
The article underlines the importance of continuous investment and standards in these areas to address security risks effectively, emphasizing the need to prioritize continuous DevSecOps security practices to avoid potential risks.
