Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

As DevOps environments become primary attack surfaces, protecting your intellectual property (IP) requires a data-driven understanding of the modern threat landscape. The 2026 “DevOps Threats Unwrapped Report” by GitProtect accelerates building your cyber awareness. It brings you the latest statistics, highlighting contemporary trends in DevSecOps. It also dives into dozens of real attacks and breaches affecting SaaS platforms in 2025 in 10 different areas.

Managing a growing list of vendors can add complexity across an organization. Adding a new partner may require navigating additional administrative processes and internal alignment. As a result, third-party DevOps backup often ends up lower on the priority list until one serious data deletion, prolonged recovery, or failed restore turns it from a “nice to have” into an executive-level decision.

If your team is pushing code faster than ever, baking security right into your DevOps workflows isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s an absolute necessity. When your CI/CD pipeline is properly secured, you can identify and address security gaps early on, minimizing risks before they escalate. However, with the DevSecOps market expected to reach USD 26.21 billion by 2032, the abundance of available DevOps security tools can make it feel overwhelming to find the right one.

As daily Jira users, the GitProtect Team experiences the platform’s pros and cons firsthand. A recent notification from Atlassian about data loss was a sharp reminder of digital fragility. Without GitProtect, our enterprise-grade backup solution, the loss could potentially turn into a critical data incident. Let’s see what happened and how we responded.

Each of us certainly experienced a situation where we first got rid of some data, because we did not need it, but after some time we realized that we wanted to recover this data. It could be anything, an old note, a photo, or it can be an entire repository. Then what? We would like to recover this data somehow! Unfortunately, this is not always possible, so we should remember to regularly back up our data.

There’s no infrastructure that’s always on and immune to all kinds of threats. Even the top providers leave a tiny margin in their Service Level Agreements (SLA), stating 99.999% uptime at most. The cloud, advertised as the universal cure for the problems of legacy on-premises setups, also turned out vulnerable. The most obvious and impactful manifestations of cloud vulnerability are cloud outages.

The huge news is coming: GitProtect is the first solution on the market to support the backup of the GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency environments. The launch of version 2.2.0 also brings more secure and efficient AES-GCM encryption, a refreshed dashboard, a new onboarding experience, support for Azure DevOps related work links, and much more. Let’s dive into all the new features.

Backups are as good as the testing carried out to check effectiveness. Key aspects to consider when verifying GitHub backup effectiveness include: Has all data been covered and successfully backed up? Is the frequency of backup appropriate? Are recovery procedures correctly implemented? Read on as we shed more light on testing GitHub backups. Find out more about backup testing best practices, the issues that may arise, how to address them and why backup verification is so important.

What can bring together development and operation teams better than DevOps, a prevalent agile methodology? It involves new management principles, cultural change, and technology tools that boost the team’s development, collaboration, and productivity while they cooperate on software development.
