Download or read book DevSecOps Transformation Control Framework written by Michael Bergman and published by Michael Bergman. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quick read book defines the DevSecOps Transformation Control Framework. Providing security control checklists for every phase of DevSecOps. Detailing a multidisciplinary transformation effort calling to action the Governance, Risk, and Compliance teams, along with security, auditors, and developers. The uniqueness of these checklists lies in their phase-specific design and focus on aligning security with the team's existing way of working. They align the skills required to execute security mechanisms with those of the team executing each phase. Asserting that a close alignment, is less disruptive to the team's way of working, and consequently more conducive to maintaining the delivery speed of DevSecOps. The checklists encapsulate alignment initiatives that first enhance tried and tested security processes, like data risk assessments, threat analysis and audits, keeping their effectiveness but adapting them to the speed of DevSecOps. Secondly, it uses container technologies as catalysts to streamline the integration of security controls, piggy-backing off the automated progression of containers through the pipeline, to automate the execution and testing of security controls. Providing a blueprint for organisations seeking to secure their system development approach while maintaining its speed.

Download or read book Trust Extension as a Mechanism for Secure Code Execution on Commodity Computers written by Bryan Jeffrey Parno and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As society rushes to digitize sensitive information and services, it is imperative to adopt adequate security protections. However, such protections fundamentally conflict with the benefits we expect from commodity computers. In other words, consumers and businesses value commodity computers because they provide good performance and an abundance of features at relatively low costs. Meanwhile, attempts to build secure systems from the ground up typically abandon such goals, and hence are seldom adopted. In this book, I argue that we can resolve the tension between security and features by leveraging the trust a user has in one device to enable her to securely use another commodity device or service, without sacrificing the performance and features expected of commodity systems. At a high level, we support this premise by developing techniques to allow a user to employ a small, trusted, portable device to securely learn what code is executing on her local computer. Rather than entrusting her data to the mountain of buggy code likely running on her computer, we construct an on-demand secure execution environment which can perform security-sensitive tasks and handle private data in complete isolation from all other software (and most hardware) on the system. Meanwhile, non-security-sensitive software retains the same abundance of features and performance it enjoys today. Having established an environment for secure code execution on an individual computer, we then show how to extend trust in this environment to network elements in a secure and efficient manner. This allows us to reexamine the design of network protocols and defenses, since we can now execute code on endhosts and trust the results within the network. Lastly, we extend the user's trust one more step to encompass computations performed on a remote host (e.g., in the cloud). We design, analyze, and prove secure a protocol that allows a user to outsource arbitrary computations to commodity computers run by an untrusted remote party (or parties) who may subject the computers to both software and hardware attacks. Our protocol guarantees that the user can both verify that the results returned are indeed the correct results of the specified computations on the inputs provided, and protect the secrecy of both the inputs and outputs of the computations. These guarantees are provided in a non-interactive, asymptotically optimal (with respect to CPU and bandwidth) manner. Thus, extending a user's trust, via software, hardware, and cryptographic techniques, allows us to provide strong security protections for both local and remote computations on sensitive data, while still preserving the performance and features of commodity computers.
