There’s a growing need for both security and speed in application development. DevSecOps introduces security earlier in the SDLC to ensure secure code. Comparing the speed of software development today to even just a decade ago is a bit like comparing a bullet train to a bicycle. With CI/CD and DevOps now mainstream, it’s faster by orders of magnitude.
The ultimate objective of any software developer is to create performant, secure, and usable applications. Realizing this goal requires every application to be tested thoroughly. Testing is therefore a critical aspect of creating robust applications. It’s what ensures the developed software meets the desired quality expectations. This blog examines one of the vital testing methods: white box penetration testing.
About a year ago, a friend of mine decided to build an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) assembler in Rust. After some prodding from him, I began to help by writing unit tests. At the time, I knew very little about operating systems and started to read about lexical and symbolical analyzers. I was quickly in way over my head. What I did retain, however, was a newfound appreciation for the OS as a whole. So, when he started raving about eBPF, I knew I was in for a treat.
DevOps can break traditional application security testing processes & tools. Learn why an integrated DevSecOps approach is critical to building better code. Working in cyber security can be discouraging. Every day brings another unprotected database, another ransomware victim, a new type of fraud, or another serious vulnerability. The perfect antidote is working toward building better software, and to that end I want to tell you about a little thing called DevSecOps.
You’ve purchased a software composition analysis solution, and you’re excited to start scanning. Before you do, read our top tips for getting started with WhiteSource. Following some basic guidelines ensures your implementation gets off on the right foot.
In this blog post we’ll cover how to set up an SSH jump server. We’ll cover two open source projects. Both of these servers are easy to install and configure, are free and open-source, and are single-binary Linux daemons. An SSH jump server is a regular Linux server, accessible from the Internet, which is used as a gateway to access other Linux machines on a private network using the SSH protocol.
Nightfall Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is now available as a CircleCI orb. CircleCI orbs are reusable snippets of code that help automate repeated processes, speed up project setup, and make it easy to integrate with third-party tools. With the Nightfall DLP orb, you can scan for sensitive items and prevent developers from accidentally committing sensitive information. We’re excited to announce our launch with CircleCI and share what you can do with the Nightfall DLP orb.
