As enterprises build and run cloud-native applications on Kubernetes, platform engineering teams are responsible for empowering dozens, hundreds or even thousands of developers to rapidly configure the right infrastructure resources to run mission-critical applications. At the same time, today’s complex threat landscape and strict regulatory environment make it increasingly difficult for developers to configure secure and compliant infrastructure.

IDE security plug-in tools like Code Sight can help shift security left without slowing down your development teams. In 2022, Synopsys commissioned the SANS Institute to examine how organizations achieved improvements in their security posture and operational effectiveness by aligning development, security, and operations teams around the cultural ideals, practices, and tools that make up the secure DevOps, or DevSecOps, methodology.

Threat actors will always target the things most important to businesses, and today, that means applications–the lifeblood of the global economy. As the recent Mend Open Source Risk Report reveals, the ongoing rise in open source vulnerabilities and software supply chain attacks presents significant business risk. The number of open source vulnerabilities are growing, just as threat actors are launching increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google for managing microservices or containerized applications across a distributed cluster of nodes. It is widely thought that “Kubernetes is key” to cloud-native application strategies. Kubernetes (K8s) runs over several nodes, and the collection of nodes is called a cluster. K8s clusters allow application developers to orchestrate and monitor containers across multiple physical, virtual, or cloud servers.

Organizations know that they need to become more cyber resilient, and are asking MSSPs and enterprise security teams to help. But in a time of economic uncertainty and shrinking budgets, the goal of cyber resilience is often at odds with what management is prepared to invest. The good news is that LimaCharlie can be used to help security professionals improve cyber resilience—with a level of control and at a cost efficiency unparalleled industrywide.

Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), promises to help deliver software faster and more reliably. It does this by pushing frequent updates and fixes regardless of size and using automation tools to help the process run smoothly. According to Gartner, CI/CD is the most common agile practice currently being adopted by organizations. So how does CI/CD work and why is it critical for DevOps teams?
