DevSecOps refers to the integration of security controls across the whole software development lifecycle. It is first and foremost an organizational culture, enabled by processes and tools, where development teams share the responsibility for delivering secure software with the security team. This differs from organizations where development and security responsibilities are completely siloed in distinct teams.
In the DevOps and DevSecOps Introduction, What is DevOps, we reviewed how our security teams overlay onto DevOps for visibility and increased security throughout the software lifecycle. This article explores DevSecOps during the planning phase of the project and why it’s important for developers to be trained on how to help protect the software they are writing from Free Open-Source Software “FOSS” risks and supply chain attacks.
Jitsuin met Meterian in the NCSC Cyber Runway Accelerator launched in November 2021. What we quickly realized is that automated generation and permissioned sharing of SBOMs would save valuable time in vulnerability discovery and mitigation. So we moved fast to fix things! The integration between Meterian’s Boost Open-Source Software Scanner (BOSS) and Jitsuin’s RKVST SBOM Hub enables software publishers to automatically generate, store and distribute SBOMs in public or private.
The whole point of an SBOM is lost if you keep it a secret. Here we reveal our secrets of the ideal SBOM exchange. Let us know if we’ve missed anything in RKVST SBOM Hub. SBOMs are made for sharing and are the gifts that keep on giving, but only if they get to the right place at the right time to drive the right critical decision. The first critical decision, or moment of truth, is whether to buy a vendor’s product.
