DevOps has provided speed and quality benefits with continuous development and deployment methods, but it does not guarantee the security of an entire organization. Hands-On Security in DevOps shows you how to adopt DevOps techniques to continuously improve your organization's security at every level, rather than just focusing on protecting your infrastructure.

This guide combines DevOps and security to help you to protect cloud services, and teaches you how to use techniques to integrate security directly in your product. You will learn how to implement security at every layer, such as for the web application, cloud infrastructure, communication, and the delivery pipeline layers. With the help of practical examples, you'll explore the core security aspects, such as blocking attacks, fraud detection, cloud forensics, and incident response. In the concluding chapters, you will cover topics on extending DevOps security, such as risk assessment, threat modeling, and continuous security.

By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in implementing security in all layers of your organization and be confident in monitoring and blocking attacks throughout your cloud services.

This book is for system administrators, security consultants, and DevOps engineers who want to secure their entire organization. Basic understanding of Cloud computing, automation frameworks, and programming is necessary.

, DevSecOps Drivers and Challenges , we will cover external factors that drive the need for security such as security compliance, regulations, and the market.

, Security Goals and Metrics , we will discuss security practices from different perspectives based on the OWASP SAMM framework. We will also cover security activities in different roles such as security management, development, QA, and operation teams.

, Security Assurance Program and Organization , will cover how different organization structures may relate to the execution of a security assurance program. The role, responsibility and relationship of the security team in the organization structure also impact the success execution of a security assurance program. We will discuss these factors by case study.
