The New Ways of Chaos, Security, and DevOpsJames Wickett
VMware Thought Leadership Series: The New Ways of Chaos, Security, and DevOps
Abstract:
DevOps and the subsequent move bring security in under the umbrella of DevSecOps has created a new an ethos for security. This is good, however moving security and DevOps closer together in many organizations leaves us with questions of how this merge works in practice. What happens to security? To developers? And where does chaos engineering fit in? This talk highlights security's place in DevOps and how topics ranging from empathy to chaos to system safety fit in organizations today. The hope is to uncover a new playbook for devs, ops, and security to work together.
All organizations want to go faster and decrease friction in delivering software. The problem is that InfoSec has historically slowed this down or worse. But, with the rise of CD pipelines and new devsecops tooling, there is an opportunity to reverse this trend and move Security from being a blocker to being an enabler.
This talk will discuss hallmarks of doing security in a software delivery pipeline with an emphasis on being pragmatic. At each phase of the delivery pipeline, you will be armed with philosophy, questions, and tools that will get security up-to-speed with your software delivery cadence.

DevOpsDays Austin: Security in the FaaS LaneJames Wickett
James Wickett and Karthik Gaekwad talk about Serverless Security at DevOps Days Austin.
Security in FaaS isn't what we are used to, but this talk shows you how what we learned in appsec still applies. Using LambHack, which is a vulnerable serverless application written in Go on AWS Lambda using Sparta, we will evaluate how to do security in serverless.
In this talk, we will talk about security strategies and pitfalls in the serverless world. You'll leave with an understanding of how to approach security conversations about serverel
Talk goals:
- How to approach the security concerns in a serverless world.
- Talk about the 'WIP' methodology for serverless security.
- Understand current serverless attacks for things to defend against.
- Learn what different cloud providers (AWS/GKE/Azure/Oracle Cloud) do to protect you in a serverless world.

Epistemological Problem of Application SecurityJames Wickett
Over the years, AppSec has made progress but it has also made some mis-steps. We focus almost solely on development practices and training as remediation. This isn't sustainable and arguably does little good. There is a better way, but we have to separate ourselves from the core assumptions we have made that got us here. Lets journey together to find old truths and better approaches to Application Security.
How to Effect Change in the Epistemological Wasteland of Application SecurityJames Wickett
From GOTO London 2015
Over the years, application security (appsec) has made progress, but it has also made some considerable mis-steps. Appsec focuses almost solely on developer awareness and secure development training as remediation. This isn't sustainable and arguably does little good. There is a better way, but we have to separate ourselves from the core assumptions we have made that got us here. Lets journey together to find old truths and better approaches.
We will explore ways to make a change for the better across all levels of the development lifecycle, but we will focus on security testing early on in the development process. From this session, you will learn pragmatic approaches and tooling that will affect your development processes and delivery pipelines. You will walk away with code examples and tools that you can put into practice right away for security and rugged testing.
Full slide deck for day long discussion of microservices topics. Why use microservices, what options exist and how to migrate to them and address common problems.

It's clear that Docker speeds up development and makes testing and deployment more efficient. As Docker moves into production new use cases and patterns are emerging that address availability and security concerns. With microservices, safety is part of the architecture that developers need to understand and build for. It's no longer good enough to wrap a firewall around an entire app when it goes to production, and have a cold standby in case it breaks.
Businesses are speeding up development and automating operations to remain competitive and to get large organizations to scale. Project based monolithic application updates are replaced by product teams owning containerized microservices. This puts developers on call, responsible for pushing code to production, fixing it when it breaks, and managing the cost and security aspects of running their microservices. In this world operations skill-sets are either embedded in the microservices development teams, or building and operating API driven platforms. The platform automates stress testing, canary based deployment, penetration testing and enforces availability and security requirements. There are no meetings or tickets to file in the delivery process for updating a containerized microservice, which can happen many times a day, and takes seconds to complete. The role of site reliability engineering moves from firefighting and fixing outages to buiding tools for finding problems and routing those problems to the right developers. SREs manage the incident lifecycle for customer visible problems, and measure and publish availability metrics. This may sound futuristic but Werner Vogels described this as “You build it, you run it” in 2006.
Cloud has brought in the concept of managing security within bounded contexts. All else is outside the scope of the service provider or the hosting vendor. How do you plan for scope security activities around the nebulous scope of the cloud especially in a hybrid / multi cloud scenarios where clear cut boundaries are not well defined.How can architecture frameworks help you to fix this issue which is like trying to safeguard a fort not knowing which doors to lock and where to start ?The talk will focus on how enterprise architecture frameworks can help create the much needed trace ability and help define the scope of the security architecture activity. Using tried and tested means has the advantage of not having to reinvent the wheel and avoid missing out plugging the weak links within your enterprise.
With the advent of microservices , containers and on demand computing and the rate at which code is getting churned out every single day we need to automate or perish. DevOps or Build at Scale and how to have a hands free approach like autonomous cars is what companies need the most today. It is no longer OK to say we build it someone will test it and certify it , it needs to happen in real time and all at once the Build, Automate and Test in a continuous pipeline. How can companies stay on top by effectively making use of Automation shall be looked at in this talk.
Organizations have accepted that "cloud" is the de-facto platform of the future, and the benefits and flexibility it brings have ushered in a renaissance in software architecture. The disposable infrastructure of cloud has enabled the first "cloud native" architecture, microservices. continuous delivery, a technique that is radically changing how tech-based businesses evolve, amplifies the impact of cloud as an architecture. We expect architectural innovation to continue, with trends such as containerization and software-defined networking providing even more technical options and capability.
In the software engineering world, change is the only constant. And in the course of the last decades, the frequency of that change has exploded. What Agile has brought to software teams, DevOps is now bringing to the entire organization. And the results speak for themselves. The DevOps high-performers are killing it. Insane deploy frequencies of features, high reliability of applications, and high productivity of cross-functional teams have amplified the speed at which ideas become a reality.
In parallel, Application Security was doing its own thing and to a large part remained oblivious to all the impressive improvements that were happening in software engineering. Because breaking an application doesn’t need any knowledge of how it was created in the first place.
This talk will cover anti-patterns that are preventing application security from being adopted by development teams, such as:
* Signals versus Noise
* Lost in Translation
* Make it easy

In his talk Jim outlines establishing a charter, hiring a team, establishing user-centered product development process, choosing tools for scale and speed, and design strategy.
Agile has made it possible to deliver a lot product lines and service lines almost like instant coffee , tea and instant everything. It has created a lot of diverse needs especially the need to keep pace with Dev and Operations and everything is expected to continuous along the pipeline without breaking anything along the way. This would mean features , security , builds , releases and the whole nine yards that go with putting your app or product out there. We shall look at DEVSECOPS along with why everything else associated with this initiative that needs to be continuous . Without this mindset agile shall be a term that shall not have much of relevance let alone deliver a product or feature in the best quality and time frame.

James Wickett, Signal Sciences
"DevOps is the practice of the entire engineering team participating together through the entire service lifecycle of delivering software. This includes security and out of necessity, security as we have known it has completely changed.
Through challenges from the outside and forces from within there is a wholesale conversion taking place across the industry where DevOps and Security are joining forces. This talk is a hybrid of inspiration and pragmatism for dealing with the new landscape. There are four key areas that have changed with the rise of DevOps:
Treat all systems and infrastructure as code
Change the engineering culture to orient around delivery
Favor a fast delivery cadence
Create feedback loops across the organization
With these shifts the organization has new demands and expectations on security. This talk will cover a pragmatic approach and focus on principles, practices and tooling to meet demands in these four key areas."

With everything going on in DevOps, I think we can safely say that building pipelines is the way to deploy your applications to production. But knowing what you deploy to production and whether it is actually okay needs more data, like security checks, performance checks, and budget checks. We’ve come up with a process for that, which we call Continuous Verification “A process of querying external systems and using information from the response to make decisions to improve the development and deployment process.” In this session, we’ll look at extending an existing CI/CD pipeline with checks for security, performance, and cost to make a decision on whether we want to deploy our app or not.

VMWare Tech Talk: "The Road from Rugged DevOps to Security Chaos Engineering"Aaron Rinehart
This session will cover the foundations DevSecOps and the application of Chaos Engineering for Cyber Security. We will cover how the craft has evolved by sharing some lessons learned driving digital transformation at the largest healthcare company in the world, UnitedHealth Group. During the session we will talk about DevSecOps, Rugged DevOps, Open Source, and how we pioneered the application of Chaos Engineering to Cyber Security.
We will cover how DevSecOps and Security Chaos Engineering allows for teams to proactively experiment on recurring failure patterns in order to derive new information about underlying problems that were previously unknown. The use of Chaos Engineering techniques in DevSecOps pipelines, allows incident response and engineering teams to derive new information about the state of security within the system that was previously unknown.
As far as we know Chaos Engineering is one of the only proactive mechanisms for detecting systemic availability and security failures before they manifest into outages, incidents, and breaches. In other words, Security focused Chaos Engineering allows teams to proactively, safely discover system weakness before they disrupt business outcomes.

This presentation was given by Daniel Deogun and Daniel Sawano at the Devoxx conference, Krakow, 2015.
-----------------
The concepts and techniques on how to implement continuous delivery have been around for quite a while and is moving away from the exclusive club of early adopters. The tooling and technology around CD have evolved and allows us to fairly easy implement delivery pipelines and the necessary infrastructure. But why is it that many organizations still seem to struggle? As it turns out, the technical solutions of CD is not where the challenges lie. Instead, the hard part is to transform business processes and workflows to a mindset of continuously delivering value. It also puts new challenges on the individual to adopt a new view on how to develop software. In this presentation, we will look at common pitfalls and challenges in implementing CD, and share our experiences from the trenches.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
