Building Security into DevOps

Looking for an efficient and effective way to test your applications for security vulnerabilities? Look no further than Polaris Software Integrity Platform, the cloud-based application security testing solution optimized for the needs of development and DevSecOps teams. With Polaris, developers can easily onboard and begin scanning their code in just a matter of minutes, while security teams can effortlessly track and manage testing activities and risks across hundreds or even thousands of applications.

Listen to this conversation with Matias Madou, Co-Founder Secure Code Warrior on adding the Sec into DevSecOps and why upskilling your security and development teams is critical.

Listen as Taylor and Buu talk about how the speed of application releases impacts application security and what a security utopia could look like.

DevOps is terrific for delivering new innovative applications to the market. But the newer trend of “shift left, shift right, shift everywhere” has increased the pressure on developers and DevOps engineers to add application security (AppSec) testing and tooling management in CI/CD pipelines to their already long list of responsibilities.

With “shift everywhere,” existing DevSecOps implementations have to evolve to manage AppSec risk without impeding the agility and frequency of software delivery. The good news is, it can be done.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

- How “shift everywhere” is impacting DevSecOps
- What are its implementation challenges?
- How to build and execute a comprehensive AppSec program to address these challenges
- Recent DevSecOps success stories

Tanya Janaca, a keynote speaker at the 2023 RSA Conference, addresses some of the worst
DevSecOps practices she has witnessed while working in IT for over 25 years.

AppSec and AppSec teams have evolved over the last decade to keep pace with the speed and demands of the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Clint Gibler, head of security research at Semgrep, discusses some of these changes, as well as takeaways for modern, forward-thinking security teams.

Tracking the right metrics is essential in DevSecOps as it helps measure the effectiveness of your security program. Listen as Taylor and Clint, discuss how teams can raise their security bar with useful measurement metrics, as well as how to identify high ROI security investments for their DevSecOps program.

Even software with a solid architecture and design can harbor vulnerabilities, whether due to mistakes or shortcuts. But limited security staff don’t have the resources to perform code reviews and provide remediation guidance on the entire application portfolio. Static analysis, also known as static application security testing (SAST), is an automated way to find bugs, back doors, and other code-based vulnerabilities so the team can mitigate those risks.

First, though, you must choose a static analysis model that fits your needs. You might have questions such as these:
- How do I manage false positives?
- How do I triage the results?
- What happens to new issues identified?
- My scan takes hours to complete. How can I use this tool in my DevSecOps pipeline?
- What is a “baseline scan”?

Join us as we walk you through the challenges and benefits of integrating a SAST tool into your DevSecOps pipeline and how we’ve helped other organizations with this process.

Digital transformation initiatives are forcing development teams to make tough decisions. They have to make tradeoffs between feature velocity and managing application security risk. Developers may lack the knowledge to address the risks they’re aware of, and adding security tools often adds friction to their workflows. A new approach is needed to meet the demands of modern application development.

Join us for this webcast with Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) to learn about:

- How DevOps and automation are changing application security landscape
- What challenges teams face when automating their AST tools
- How a new approach to DevSecOps can address these challenges
- What your team can do to make your DevSecOps initiative successful

DevSecOps is a trending practice in application security that involves introducing security earlier in the software development life cycle. It expands the collaboration between development and operations teams to integrate security teams in the software delivery cycle.

DevSecOps needs to be risk-based like your application risk indicator. It needs to be able to optimize security testing based on your policies. It should be efficient so not every code change requires a full security analysis.

In this talk, you will learn
• Actionable insights into what DevSecOps is
• What DevSecOps is not
• How DevSecOps works from build to production

As development technologies become more fast-paced, modular, and automated, the tools and practices used to secure the software that passes through these pipelines must evolve. While many application security testing (AST) tools can be integrated into pipelines, teams often struggle with complexity, performance, and noisy results. Injecting security into DevOps without sacrificing efficiency requires a concerted approach focusing on:

- Integration and automation that minimizes impediments, running necessary tests at appropriate times
- Remediation of prioritized risks aligned to business needs
- AppSec-enabled developers equipped with what they need to secure code as they write it
- Modular AST that can be employed based on the software being tested

You’ve automated security tooling in development pipelines and your organization has moved to agile practices, but you are still not experiencing the DevSecOps promise land you were told about.

The three pillars of DevSecOps are people, process, and technology. Have you invested enough into your people? Without a bridge between the security and the development teams, all your hard work can get stuck in mud.

A Security Champions program can help enable your teams reduce process friction and ensure successful adoption of security within developers’ daily work. This talk will address

• Common challenges organizations experience
• Ways a Security Champions program can help
• Getting started with building your Security Champions program

With modern processes, software developers can quickly build and release applications by deploying them to the cloud. But security teams are struggling to keep pace. Shifting security left can help, but it’s easier said than done.

Join this live Synopsys webinar to understand the latest Enterprise Strategy Research Group (ESG) research on shifting security left to create scalable, developer-centric supply chain security solutions. We’ll cover:

• Current conditions for incorporating security into developer workflows
• The challenges faced with faster cloud-native development lifecycles
• Strategies and solutions for securing software without sacrificing speed

To build security into DevOps and achieve true DevSecOps, organizations need to manage AppSec workflows without hindering speed and flexibility. But how do you get there?

Join this live Synopsys webinar to learn how to inject security into DevOps without sacrificing efficiency. We’ll cover how to:

• Secure code as fast as it’s written
• Run the right tests at the right time
• Automate security testing to focus on what matters
