2020 has been a very challenging year for teams and organizations across the world. This has been especially true for security teams, who’ve been responsible for managing the technological risks associated with their organization’s response to the pandemic. With security teams focused on mitigating the seismic impacts that the pandemic has had on their organization’s infrastructure, some of the security problems that emerged before the pandemic have been overlooked.

Developers face a bevy of roadblocks in their race to meet tight deadlines, which means they often pull from risky open source libraries and prioritize security flaws on the fly. In a recent ESG survey report, Modern Application Development Security, we saw that 54% of organizations push vulnerable code just to meet critical deadlines, and while they plan for remediation on a later release, lingering flaws only add to risky security debt.

Security and development teams are increasingly adopting DevOps methodologies. However, traditional security tools bolted onto the development process often cause friction, decrease velocity, and require time-consuming manual processes. Manual tools and legacy AppSec approaches limit security teams’ ability to deliver the timely and actionable security feedback needed to drive improvements at the pace of modern development.

In 2019, GitHub estimates that over 44 million repositories were created, and over 10 million new developers joined the platform. This comes as no surprise, as GitHub is the world’s largest host of source code. With that designation comes a substantial volume of committed code.

When it comes to modern software development, collaboration is the name of the game; to this end, development teams have more than ample selection of tools at their disposal these days.

Hello, World! For the first time, Outpost24 is releasing public repositories in GitHub!

the k8s-security-configwatch GitHub Action, an open source tool from Sysdig, secures your GitOps workloads by detecting changes on your Kubernetes security configuration.

In part 1 of the GitOps blog series, we discussed the value of using GitOps for Calico policies, and how to roll out such a framework. In this second part of the series, we will expand the scope to include decentralized deployment and GitOps.

GitHub is a popular online code repository used by over 26 million people across the world for personal and enterprise uses. GitHub offers a way for people to collaborate on a distributed code base with powerful versioning, merging, and branching features. GitHub has become a common way to outsource the logistics of managing a code base repository so that teams can focus on the coding itself.
