Information Week – Dave Klein
My biggest take-away from over two decades in cybersecurity. The most elegant solution are ones that are simple to implement, have an element of automation and are easily incorporated into existing activities seamlessly. In adopting both technologies there are four key caveats in best practice adoption:

Ability to utilize existing cyber workforce Adopted in a continuous security validation manner Actionable intelligence updated constantly Comprehensiveness The main tool of someone in DevOps is to utilize play books. Whether Chef Puppet or Ansible, these play books provide seamless integration automation allowing entire environments and thousands of servers to be implemented in a matter of a few mouse clicks. Cymulateâs well documented API set means the DevOps professional can easily create in a CI/CD pipeline image, spin it up, and test it against thousands of the most recent attack tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IoCs). For the article, Cybersecurity Researcher Michael Loffe and I ran an image build using Jenkins, the well-known, free, and open-source automation package.
