What Are Some Commonly Used DevSecOps Tools?
Tools are the efficient utility of the DevSecOps model that helps to fast-pace the software development environment. They are integrated into the DevOps pipeline. There are several tools used to ensure the safety of data and the implementation of security in software processes.
Tools are categorised into several genres like Code Analysis, Change Management, Compliance Monitoring, Threat Investigation and Vulnerability Management while integrating them separately through different phases of SDLC. There are certain categories in which tools are been segregated to ensure secure application development:
1. Code Analysis
This category of DevSecOps demonstrates empowerment of security in the coding phase of development. Tools like SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST ( Dynamic Application Security Testing ) ensure security and keep check of threat analysis in a given developer’s source code with a predefined set of rules and patterns.
2. Change Management
This category represents any change or modification that happened during the application development. It helps in the continuous improvement of code and fixes potential vulnerabilities and changes.
Example:
Jenkins, Travis CI automates changes and integration to the development process.
3. Compliance Monitoring
There are certain tools which focus on compliance features such that the software composition analysis (SCA) automatically monitors future risk management and security compliance.
Example:
Nagios, Zabbix, and Splunk monitor the performance of the code.
4. Threat Investigation and Vulnerability Management
DevSecOps professionals use tools like Interactive Secure Application Testing ( ISAT) to evaluate threats in the runtime environment of software development.
What is DevSecOps: Overview and Tools
DevSecOps methodology is an extension of the DevOps model that helps development teams to integrate security objectives very early into the lifecycle of the software development process giving developers the team confidence to carry out several security tasks independently to protect code from advanced threat potentials and vulnerabilities. In this article, we will discuss the lifecycle and timeline of the DevSecOpps domain and its importance in the IT Industry and Operations.
