The need to centrally manage security policies across cloud and hybrid environments has become critical for organizations to:
a) retain the agility/speed of cloud deployment
b) reduce risk due to misconfigurations and compliance requirements.
c) accurately project and control costs

As cloud adoption continues to grow at the anticipated rate over the next few years, the mandate to deploy a strategy that includes a centralized security policy management will also grow. Comprehensive visibility and the ability to quickly apply policies at the most granular levels will allow enterprises to embrace the agility of a more secure cloud with confidence.

4 Ways to Scale DevOps in 2021

BY Mr. GBENGA OBOKHAI FOLAMI ON JANUARY 23, 2021.

The beginning is often dedicated to planning, setting intentions and preparing ourselves professionally and personally for a fresh year. In my own capacity as a DevOps and SRE leader, many of the clients I work with will reinvigorate internal efforts to streamline how they work in the first quarter.

I often advise clients to make very concrete goals and milestones for their technology organizations to become more agile, streamlined and modernized. Setting these goals is helpful to articulate to the wider business where you want to go and how you plan to get there. Here are a few DevOps-related initiatives your team may want to tackle in the first half of this year.

#1: Formidating Security through DevOps

Securing your organization’s infrastructure is an evergreen priority for technology leaders. When done properly, security should be baked into all DevOps processes (sometimes called DevSecOps) from the design phase all the way to application maintenance. To be effective and not slow down development, security processes need to move at the speed of today’s fast-moving environments, which is near impossible, or, at least very challenging, unless security is well automated.

Automated security measures can be applied to the full life cycle of product development and should make development time faster and smoother in the long run if you can catch vulnerabilities early. Identify automation tools that work for your team and experiment with what works best.

Similarly, in fast-moving environments, it’s tempting to play fast and loose with privileged access to unblock individuals and teams. Lax policies for user rights exposes the organization to too much risk from potential hackers. Implement a solution or protocol to keep access controlled. Policy and governance are critical for well-rounded DevSecOps. Communicate policies regularly with the entire organization. Ensure that all enginee

The SolarWinds breach underscores the importance of verifying the integrity of each phase of the development to prevent code tampering. There are many precautions that should be taken in order to reduce the likelihood of attackers or malicious insiders gaining access to critical systems, development infrastructure and code in the first place.



This webinar will discuss preventing code tampering across key phases of the SDLC including Development, the Build and Production. The webinar will cover:

source code,
Infrastructure-as-Code,
source control management systems,
build/CI servers, and
production infrastructure.
Attendees will learn actional steps they can take now to harden their DevOps pipelines and increase the integrity of their SDLCs to minimize the risk of their code being tampered with.

The SolarWinds and FireEye compromise demonstrated the devastating effectiveness of a supply chain cybersecurity attack leading to the infiltration of government and corporate networks by a nation-state actor. Now, application delivery teams of all sizes, industries and geographies are asking questions like:

Are supply chain attacks likely to become commonplace?
How should CISOs, cybersecurity organizations and application delivery professionals prepare themselves to plan for and respond to supply chain attacks?
What long-standing assumptions or decisions must be challenged and reassessed?
Will suppliers be required to disclose or validate supply chain security measures due to contractual requirements or potential future government regulation?
What is the role of “traditional” testing in questioning and investigating supply chain security risks?

Gbenguze Infosystems has collaborated with some experts in these areas to give answers to these questions....

Even for the most seasoned engineer, going to production can still bring about butterflies in your stomach. During a deployment, too often the availability of the application/change equals success. To get a true sense of the health and performance of a deployment requires potentially multiple engineers with domain knowledge of the infrastructure and application. On the other hand, your customers expect no regression or poor performance during deployments which warrants multiple engineers validating deployments.



What if the tribal knowledge held by the multiple engineers could be automated by AI/ML? This session will take a look at some of the machine learning techniques you can apply to automate deployment verification and health checks, specifically for enterprises utilizing Datadog.

Chaos engineering improves infrastructure automation, increases reliability and transforms incident management. However, an often-overlooked benefit of chaos engineering and SRE involves culture transformation. Culture is often touched upon when talking about chaos engineering and SRE but not as often as skills and process.
