Let’s start with statistics: continuous integration, deployment, and delivery is among the top IT investment priorities in 2023 and 2024. To be exact, according to GitLab’s 2024 Global DevSecOps report, it is on the 8th place (and security is the top priority!). However, it shouldn’t be surprising, as CI/CD practice brings a lot of benefits to IT teams – it helps to accelerate software delivery and detect vulnerabilities and bugs earlier.

With the threat landscape being on the rise, CISOs need to be much more attentive while building the organization’s security strategy. Constantly arising vulnerabilities, ransomware attacks, critical workflows, outages – all of that require CISOs to stay up to date to security issues and keep their finger on the pulse to change their security strategy once the prerequisites pop up. We’ve been tracking GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian -related incidents for the latest few years…

Are you aware of cyber risks in DevOps and how they can impact your business? Turn on the DevOps Backup Masterclass Podcast to join our host ⁠Gregory Zagraba⁠ and explore the biggest cyber threats to DevOps environments, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira with an ultimate review of the Top 2023 risks.

Want to be proactive and mitigate risks? Have your source code backed up… Try GitProtect.io backups for DevOps tools. In software engineering, by risks we mean events or factors that pose a possibility to impact the outcome of a project. These risks can be both internal and external. Managing them involves: detecting, assessing, and dealing with vulnerabilities that could affect the project.

As one of the leading platforms for distributed version control, Bitbucket is a hub that helps DevOps teams collaborate on code. This critical data, including source code, digital data, and we shouldn’t forget metadata that helps them to see the full picture of their work, is vital for their operations and business continuity. So, should they have the possibility to seamlessly import this data from Bitbucket and export to Bitbucket? The answer is yes.

If you lose a Jira project it can seem like a terrifying experience, but there are ways to restore those deleted projects. Whether it’s an unintentional or purposeful deletion that has to be reversed, if you understand Jira’s restore functionality and the value of backup solutions, it may save a lot of your time, money, and work.

A SaaS Backup solution should definitely be considered in your data protection strategy. Backups generate copies of your data, and as a consequence allow for a quick recovery in case of data loss due to accidental (or intentional) deletions, cyber-attacks, or outages.

In the ever-evolving realm of collaborative teamwork, where seamless communication and project synchronization are paramount, Jira software is a crucial tool for project management and issue tracking. Within this bustling ecosystem, the challenge of secure password sharing and sharing projects/issues with external users comes to the forefront.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming an integral part of our work. It helps us be more productive by automating tasks, analyzing, and boosting the speed of our work. Due to the desire to accelerate work and make it more efficient, SaaS providers integrate AI into their software. For example, Atlassian in 2023 announced Atlassian Intelligence, a combination of state-of-art OpenAI models and the power and data within the Atlassian platform.
