To set up the “surprise”, let’s start with a trick question: How many roots do I need in my life?

If you’re here, you know the basic DevSecOps practices like incorporating proper encryption techniques and embracing the principle of least privilege for access control. You may be entering the realm of advanced DevSecOps maturity, where you function as a highly efficient, collaborative team, with developers embracing secure coding and automated security testing best practices.

Adversaries are taking aim at cloud environments, as evidenced by the 75% increase in cloud intrusions in 2023. Organizations are under growing pressure to ensure they have measures in place to effectively detect, investigate and respond to cloud-focused attacks. Cloud detection and response (CDR) is uniquely challenging for SOC teams due to their limited visibility into the cloud control plane, resource configurations and application deployments.

Are you concerned about the security of your AWS environment? With over 73% of businesses having at least one critical security misconfiguration, it's essential to take proactive measures to protect your data and applications. While AWS is responsible for the security of the underlying infrastructure, you are responsible for securing your data and applications in the cloud.

Trust is the foundation of the open source community — but what happens when that trust is betrayed? When a backdoor vulnerability was found in a widespread Linux-based data compression tool, it nearly created an opportunity for malicious actors to seize control of countless computers worldwide. The vulnerability was introduced by a trusted contributor who, after years of building rapport with maintainers, ultimately exploited that trust.

With DevSecOps, cybersecurity has become integrated into every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). DevSecOps tools work across development, security, and operations siloes and enable these teams to work collaboratively, ensuring security vulnerabilities are addressed early and efficiently, reducing risks before they reach production.

AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace. From generative AI tools revolutionizing creative work to AI assistants reshaping enterprise workflows, one thing is clear: this technology is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have. But what about DevSecOps - the teams tasked with safeguarding our modern apps and infrastructure and ensuring their reliability?
