By way of a brief introduction, I have had a 25+ year career in technology, and this has come with some wonderful experiences and opportunities along the way. One constant throughout my journey has been a need to increasingly leverage data, enabling informed decisions (even automated) at all levels to ensure: secure, high performing and observable products and services are available to the customers and partners I’ve been supporting.
PA Consulting recently joined forces with RKVST to host a Hackathon, looking to identify new and innovative propositions for digital supply chains. Could the teams of PA consultants and analysts identify opportunities to help their clients using RKVST technology? Short answer: YES! Many of today’s business challenges can be addressed with a reliable evidence ledger. If you want the long answer, read on.
The rise of cloud, containers, and microservices has shifted the way software developers work for good. Whereas traditionally, software developers would release a new version of an application every few months, today’s platforms allow teams to work faster and more streamlined. These advancements have led to the rise of “software, safer, sooner” — also known as DevSecOps.
Supply chain risk continues to make headlines, from Solarwinds and Kaseya to last week’s announcement of a patch for the OpenSSL vulnerability, and the latest cybersecurity review from the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre highlights the serious threats posed by supply chain attacks.
Anat Kleinmann, AlgoSec Sr. Product Manager and IaC expert, discusses how incorporating Infrastructure-as-Code into DevSecOps can allow teams to take a preventive approach to secure application connectivity.
As the healthcare industry becomes more digitally inclined, there’s a need for systems to be put in place to avoid breaches in the security of data records. Most healthcare organizations are already embracing the DevOps (Development and Operations) model, but unfortunately, security seems to be neglected, resulting in data breaches and numerous cyber attacks on software and mobile applications.
DevSecOps has become one of the hottest buzzwords in the DevOps ecosystem over the past few years. In the abstract, it’s easy to understand what DevSecOps means and why people care about it: it’s a strategy that extends DevOps efficiencies to software security. But when you sit down and actually start implementing DevSecOps, things can get trickier. There is no switch you can flip to go from DevOps to DevSecOps. Implementation requires a set of tools and practices.
Last year the Log4J vulnerability perfectly illustrated how properly shared SBOMs would have helped users find and mitigate the “vulnerability of the decade”. And over the last few days we’ve been worried that we’re in the same place with OpenSSL 3.x. Why will this keep on happening? A lot has happened since The White House issued Executive Order 14028.
