Course 7 - Secure SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) | Episode 5: Hardening, DevSecOps Integration, Container Security and WAF
In this lesson, you’ll learn about: Secure Deploy — SDLC Phase 5 1. Overview Secure Deployment focuses on hardening the environment to protect systems from attacks and data breaches. The objective is to develop, deploy, and release software with continuous security and automation. 2. Secure Deployment and Infrastructure Hardening Key practices for secure deployment include:
Infrastructure Hardening: Follow CIS benchmarks to reduce risk across hardware and software.
Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only necessary access and revoke unnecessary permissions.
Access Control: Enforce strong authentication, restrict network access via firewalls, and monitor system access and network IP addresses.
Patching and Logging: Apply security patches based on CVE tracking, and implement auditing and logging policies.
Secure Connections: Enable TLS 1.2/1.3, use strong ciphers and secure cookies, and implement SSO or MFA as needed.
3. Secure DevOps (DevSecOps) DevSecOps integrates security throughout the DevOps pipeline. Key considerations:
Automation: Increases efficiency, reduces human error, and ensures consistent security checks.
Tool Integration: Combine SAST/IAST and WAFs with issue tracking (e.g., Jira) for continuous monitoring.
Compliance Automation: Identify applicable controls and automate compliance measurement within the SDLC.
Monitoring Metrics: Track deployment frequency, patch timelines, and the percentage of code tested automatically.
Security Test Results Review: Address vulnerabilities from SAST, IAST, WAF prior to release.
Certify the Release: Document and control software releases using a formal approval process.
7. Continuous Vulnerability Management (CVM) CVM ensures ongoing risk reduction by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities continuously:
Scanning and Patching: Use SCAP-compliant tools like Nessus, Rapid7, or Qualys; apply updates via automated tools (e.g., SolarWinds Patch Manager, SCCM).
Vulnerability Tools: Schedule recurring network scans, define targets, and manage scan plugins to optimize performance.
8. Summary
Secure Deployment ensures that security is...
