DevOps practices have significantly transformed the software industry, leading to faster release cycles and more streamlined workflows. The enduring presence of the DevOps model is undeniable, and its influence on modern development methodologies is profound. However, this accelerated pace introduces challenges, particularly regarding DevOps security.

Cloud security refers to technologies, best practices, and safety guidelines that help to protect your data from human errors, insider and security threats. Therefore, it naturally covers a wide range of procedures, which are aimed at securing systems from data breaches, data loss, unauthorized access, and other cybersecurity-related risks that are growing from year to year.

Backup is an important part of the DevOps security strategy – it helps to eliminate data loss, ensure business continuity, and go hand in hand with the Shared Responsibility and compliance requirements. Moreover, given the constantly rising incidents (check out the State of DevOps Threats Report), like human mistakes, service outages, and ransomware attacks, backup can make up a reliable final line of protection for both your source code and other critical DevOps data and your business.

Shared Responsibility Models, NIS2, DORA, or SOC 2 & ISO audits, accidental deletions, and the evolving threat landscape in SaaS apps confirms that DevOps Security becomes a priority. CISOs and DevOps teams need to meet halfway to secure data processed across GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian, without compromising agility and efficiency. However, finding this middle ground is not an easy task.

Welcome to our post-release blog post where we share the latest GitProtect enhancements and new features launched with version 1.8.0. Although we believe that these changes could not have been missed!

Jira is a project management tool that helps IT teams simplify their DevOps and PM processes. Also, it supports easy collaboration throughout the team, thanks to the complex issue-tracking system. However, one thing you should be cautious of… It is the accidental or intentional deletion of important issues. Why?
