Continuous Integration - Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) Security

It enables users to submit changes that can bolster efficiency and speed. It also plays a big part in helping security teams to determine the impact of the changes on codes, CI/CD pipelines, and adopted solutions, etc. Deploy security tools and technologies to identify loopholes and bolster security in the changed parts.

Compliance is a very important metric to preserve process security. All enterprises should be compliant with regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Payment Card Industry Digital Security Standard (PCI DSS) and always be prepared for audits at any time by the regulators. Cloud4C delivers in-depth compliance audits, assessments, and framework deployments adhering to local, national, and international regulations.

Shield all secrets or sensitive information stored in CI/CD solutions such as Keys, APIs, login IDs and Passwords, authentication, User access controls, and more. If needed, distribute information across multiple safe vaults and update them periodically for maximum security.

It involves a comprehensive assessment and analysis of unidentified threats and new vulnerabilities. Analyze potential vulnerabilities across all source code, open source files, code repository, libraries, development platforms and environments, containers, systems or VMs running development operations, and more to minimize future risks and threats.

CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines are central to an effective, efficient DevOps environment. These deploy automation tools and technologies to automate code building, deployment, and testing phases. Hence, proper security assessments are a must, periodically. SAST or Static Application Security Testing runs continual threat monitoring and auditing on in-development software, apps, etc. DAST or Dynamic Application Security Testing promises advanced monitoring and risk assessments on applications and software currently running or in use by different enterprise factions.

Achieve improvement and consistency with a comprehensive view of security infrastructure across all codebases, storages, platforms, open source files, libraries, CI/CD pipelines, and more. Monitor 24/7 for threats detection, investigation, hunting, and analysis. Ensure risk-proof code and systems delivering high efficiency.

Share roles, authentication, and platform access control with users basis their responsibilities. Manage identities with ease, analyze user behaviour, and shield systems and apps from leaks and suspicious activities.

Security tools and solutions are often integrated with asset data and dataflows to ensure instant analysis of risks and vulnerabilities. Preserve data integrity and security with ease. Compile threat monitoring and historical data from development environments and CI/CD solutions to gain a proper understanding of threats behavior followed by concrete action plans.

Deploy advanced security automation solutions and platforms such as Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and more to development and operations processes. Bolster security by design and run continual checks and assessments on lurking threats and vulnerabilities. Let all security management workflows be automated around the CI/CD landscape.

With development, operations, and security workflows in collaboration, optimize redundant processes, risky loopholes, and vulnerabilities with ease. Deploy highly secure and high-performance systems to minimize security-related losses and hence maximize IT ROI in the long run.

Enterprises need to bridge the gap between the security team and the IT software developers. This can be achieved through adequate security-related training backed by a complete set of guidelines. With proper awareness, the administration of CI/CD pipelines becomes at ease.
