DevSecOps intro

A couple of resources I found interesting lately:

And a few thoughts and quotes I stole..ehm..gathered from people that are smarter than me:
  • Teams that are doing peer reviews for all their code, are usually doing real devops (this was used to distinguish real devops against just using devopsie tools and calling it a day. DevOps is not just about tools!).
  • Every time I do an architecture review (from a security perspective), I should ask myself: how do I make sure that next time I don't need to perform this? Automate it or teach a developer to do it, because security engineers can't scale to all the dev teams of any company.
  • If we have embrace CI/CD, there is no option for a security gate/audit/review. Everything has to be automated, short-circled and repeatable!
