Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) has become a ubiquitous practice for DevOps teams. The CI/CD process focuses on building and deploying new applications or releasing updates to already-deployed workloads. As a result, most CI/CD efforts focus on enhancing development speeds. However, CI/CD practices can accomplish much more than enabling workload deployments.

We are excited to announce the inaugural edition of the Mend.io Open-Source Reliability Leaderboard! Powered by data from Renovate, the wildly popular open-source dependency management tool, the Leaderboard presents the top packages in terms of reliability across three of the most widely used languages.

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a key cyber defense item — it identifies what’s in your software, applications, and code base so that you can detect and mitigate risk more effectively. This is useful when it comes to application security because companies can only detect and fix vulnerabilities if they know what’s there in the first place. SBOMs give you that visibility. Consequently, SBOMs are now a “must-have” tool for most companies.

Attention developers and DevOps teams! Today we’re excited to announce that 1Password Service Accounts are now generally available to all users. Whether you’re a growing startup, a thriving mid-size company, or a sprawling enterprise, service accounts offer a secure, automated way to access infrastructure secrets exactly where they’re needed.

Modern companies are rapidly adopting cloud applications and services due to scalability, cost savings, and faster time to market. DevOps teams and developers must deliver fast, secure code while protecting secrets and log files, creating a growing concern over the security risks of this digital transformation. According to a recent report, more organizations are adopting security as code (SaC) practices, with 62% of respondents citing it as a priority.
