OWASP Top 10 Most Critical Web Application Security Risks
The OWASP Top 10 is a powerful awareness document for web application security. It represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. Project members include a variety of security experts from around the world who have shared their expertise to produce this list.
We urge all companies to adopt this awareness document within their organization and start the process of ensuring that their web applications minimize these risks. Adopting the OWASP Top 10 is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing the software development culture within your organization into one that produces secure code.

Oh, WASP! Security Essentials for Web AppsTechWell
The past few years have seen a rapid increase in business efficiency through Web-based applications. Unfortunately, a dramatic increase in the number of web application vulnerabilities has followed. Insecure web applications can be disastrous for mission critical businesses and users' sensitive data. More than 70 percent of security vulnerabilities are due to flaws in the application rather than firewall breaches. Bennie Paul explains how security testing has become an indispensable part of the SDLC for businesses operating online today. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) provides open source tools, code, and materials to develop, test, and maintain application security. Monitoring the “OWASP Top 10” web application security flaws is highly recommended as part of an organization’s testing methodology. Vulnerabilities identified are compared against the organization’s security objectives and regulations, and categorized accordingly for remediation. Benny guides you through the OWASP vulnerabilities, technique, framework, and preventive measures that you can adopt for building better software.

What the New OWASP Top 10 2013 and Latest X-Force Report Mean for App SecIBM Security
Despite being on vulnerability “Top 10” lists for many years, application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and Cross-Site scripting continue to be significant attack paradigms for organizational data breaches. In fact, the IBM X-Force 2013 Mid-Year Trend and Risk Report confirmed that SQL Injection (SQLi) remained the most common paradigm for attackers to breach organizational security controls. Meanwhile, Cross-Site Scripting continued to be the most common type of application vulnerability.
In this session, we review the latest trends in application and mobile security vulnerabilities, and how to combat them with improved security awareness, organizational controls and application security testing technologies. We also address how to improve application security on your organization’s mobile devices.

Unicom Conference - Mobile Application SecuritySubho Halder
Mobile adoption is strategic in every industry today. Although it can be a great catalyst for growth, the security risks that come with it cannot be overlooked. Even though this fact is established, many companies are still not following some of the mobile application security best practices. The goal of this is to raise awareness about application security by identifying some of the most critical risks facing organizations during development. We will be covering from basic OWASP top 10 security issues to live demos on different use-case scenarios on how a hacker can hack your application, and how to prevent them.
Organizations are increasingly looking to their Internal Auditors to provide independent assurance about cyber risks and the organization's ability to defend against cyber attacks. With information technology becoming an inherent critical success factor for every business and the emerging cyber threat landscape, every internal auditor needs to equip themselves on IT audit essentials and cyber issues.
In part 12 of our Cyber Security Series you will learn about the current cyber risks and attack methods from Richard Cascarino, including:
Where are we now and Where are we going?
Current Cyberrisks
• Data Breach and Cloud Misconfigurations
• Insecure Application User Interface (API)
• The growing impact of AI and ML
• Malware Attack
• Single factor passwords
• Insider Threat
• Shadow IT Systems
• Crime, espionage and sabotage by rogue nation-states
• IoT
• CCPA and GDPR
• Cyber attacks on utilities and public infrastructure
• Shift in attack vectors
Standards and methodology for application security assessment Mykhailo Antonishyn
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the ISO / IEC 27034 standard regulates that vulnerability testing should be carried out, but it is not specified how and what should be tested for vulnerabilities, but how and what is not described. NIST and NIAP both refer to OWASP MASVS and contain controls by which the mobile application is tested, mainly focusing on vulnerabilities that relate to vulnerabilities in data storage and authorization. This is confirmed by statistics provided by Digital Security. The most recognized is MASVS. One of the parts of MASVS describes what, how and how to test.
It should be noted that all standards rather weakly assess vulnerabilities that relate to interaction with the API. As can be seen from the tests described in Section 2.2, the most critical vulnerabilities are vulnerabilities that are associated with interaction with the application server.

TECHNIQUES FOR ATTACKING WEB APPLICATION SECURITYijistjournal
The web is absolutely necessary part of our lives. It is wide platform which is used for information sharing and service over internet. They are used for the financial, government, healthcare, education and many critical services. Everyday billions of user purchase items, transfer money, retrieve information and communicate over web with each other. Although the web is best friend of users because it provide anytime anywhere access to information and services at the same time. All things are created by human in the world so its reality that the things created by man are little bit problematic. So web applications are also created by human so it contains too many loopholes. The popularity of applications allure hackers towards them. Now a Days Securing and maintaining the websites against attack is very hard and challenging task. Finding loopholes in Web application, Computer system or network and exploiting them called hacking. New approaches for web attacks are invented day to day so the study of detect and prevent against web application attack and finding solution is important part in internet world. In this paper we introduced all web application based attack including two major attacks like XSS (Cross Site Scripting) and SQLI.
Session form series of conferences during Data Relay (formerly SQL Relay) 2018 in Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham, Reading, Bristol. The session contains only slides form the talk (no videos included).
Session from SQLDay 2016 Conference in Wroclaw.
2 AM. We're sleeping well and our mobile is ringing and ringing. Message: DISASTER! In this session (on slides) we are NOT talking about the potential disaster (such BCM); we talk about: What happened NOW? Which tasks should have been finished BEFORE. Does virtual or physical SQL Server matter? We talk about systems, databases, people, encryption, passwords, certificates and users. In this session (on few demos) I'll show which part of our SQL Server environment are critical and how to be prepared for disaster. In some documents, I'll show You how to be BEST prepared.
Backup? Who cares! Now and Then? We store our data in the cloud. Somewhere in the Cloud. Which Cloud? Who cares! But we are still SQL Server Professionals, so… are we need backup? Should we use newest opportunities or old methods? Are we going a step further or step back? On my session, I will try to find answers for all of those (and more) questions. Demos, cases, and examples from the world of backup. And of course worst practices.
Our data should be secure. And our environment too. What we can do for maximizing security in a hybrid environment, where SQL Server exist in two forms: premise and cloud. How to organize our job, how to control our data if we use Windows Azure SQL Database - The Cloud Database. physical security, policy-based management, auditing, encryption, federation, access and authorization. All of those subjects will be covered during my session.
• We sleeping well. And our mobile ringing and ringing. Message: DISASTER! In this session (on slides) we are NOT talk about potential disaster (such BCM); we talk about: And what NOW? New version old my old well-known session updated for whole changes which happened in DBA World in last two-three years.
• So, from the ground to the Sky and further - everything for surviving disaster. Which tasks should have been finished BEFORE. Is virtual or physical SQL matter? We talk about systems, databases, peoples, encryption, passwords, certificates and users.
• In this session (on few demos) I'll show which part of our SQL Server Environment are critical and how to be prepared to disaster. In some documents I'll show You how to be BEST prepared.
On my first session I would to introduce everyone to formerly known SQL Azure (actually Windows Azure SQL Database). Under Tips and Trick session I will show which points, features, compatibility and non-compatibility for SQL Azure are important for DBA's. I will cover functionalities, performance, cost, and sla and security aspects.
After break I will show how we can work with our data in the Cloud using SQL Azure, Blob Storage, what functionality of backup, restore, encryption and availability are available for us, how we can implement hybrid environment and when an why it is (or not) good practice.
And finally I hope we will find few minutes for discussion about Future of the DBA (not only in AD 2016)

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

11. 2 | Well Known Risks Factors (OSSTMM/OWASP/SANS)
12. Security? What is this?
Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm. It applies to any
vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, nation, or
organization.
As noted by the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM) in the
OSSTMM 3 (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual), security provides
"a form of protection where a separation is created between the assets and the
threat." These separations are generically called "controls," and sometimes include
changes to the asset or the threat.

14. The Open Web Application Security
Project
The OWASP Foundation came online on December 1st 2001 it was established as a
not-for-profit charitable organization in the United States on April 21, 2004 to
ensure the ongoing availability and support for our work at OWASP. OWASP is an
international organization and the OWASP Foundation supports OWASP efforts
around the world. OWASP is an open community dedicated to enabling
organizations to conceive, develop, acquire, operate, and maintain applications
that can be trusted.
All of the OWASP tools, documents, forums, and chapters are free and open to
anyone interested in improving application security. We advocate approaching
application security as a people, process, and technology problem because the
most effective approaches to application security include improvements in all of
these areas. We can be found at www.owasp.org.
15. a) Top 10 Application Security Risks
for Web Apps (2013-20xx)
16. Top 10 Application Security Risks
for Web Apps
A1-Injection
A2-Broken Authentication and Session Management
A3-Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
A4-Broken Access Control
A5-Security Misconfiguration
A6-Sensitive Data Exposure
A7-Insufficient Attack Protection
A8-Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
A9-Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
A10-Underprotected APIs
17. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Injection flaws, such as SQL, OS, XXE, and LDAP injection occur when untrusted
data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker’s
hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or
accessing data without proper authorization.
A1: Injection
18. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Application functions related to authentication and session management are often
implemented incorrectly, allowing attackers to compromise passwords, keys, or
session tokens, or to exploit other implementation flaws to assume other
users’ identities (temporarily or permanently).
A2: Broken Authentication and Session Management
19. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
XSS flaws occur whenever an application includes untrusted data in a new web
page without proper validation or escaping, or updates an existing web page
with user supplied data using a browser API that can create JavaScript. XSS
allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user
sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.
A3: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
20. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Restrictions on what authenticated users are allowed to do are not properly
enforced. Attackers can exploit these flaws to access unauthorized functionality
and/or data, such as access other users' accounts, view sensitive files, modify
other users’ data, change access rights, etc.
A4: Broken Access Control
21. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Good security requires having a secure configuration defined and deployed for the
application, frameworks, application server, web server, database server,
platform, etc. Secure settings should be defined, implemented, and
maintained, as defaults are often insecure. Additionally, software should be
kept up to date.
A5: Security Misconfiguration
22. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Many web applications and APIs do not properly protect sensitive data, such as
financial, healthcare, and PII. Attackers may steal or modify such weakly
protected data to conduct credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes.
Sensitive data deserves extra protection such as encryption at rest or in transit,
as well as special precautions when exchanged with the browser.
A6: Sensitive Data Exposure
23. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
The majority of applications and APIs lack the basic ability to detect, prevent, and
respond to both manual and automated attacks. Attack protection goes far
beyond basic input validation and involves automatically detecting, logging,
responding, and even blocking exploit attempts. Application owners also need
to be able to deploy patches quickly to protect against attacks.
A7: Insufficient Attack Protection
24. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
A CSRF attack forces a logged-on victim’s browser to send a forged HTTP request,
including the victim’s session cookie and any other automatically included
authentication information, to a vulnerable web application. Such an attack
allows the attacker to force a victim’s browser to generate requests the
vulnerable application thinks are legitimate requests from the victim.
A8: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSFR)
25. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Components, such as libraries, frameworks, and other software modules, run with
the same privileges as the application. If a vulnerable component is exploited,
such an attack can facilitate serious data loss or server takeover. Applications
and APIs using components with known vulnerabilities may undermine
application defenses and enable various attacks and impacts.
A9: Using Components with known Vulnerability
26. Top 10 Security Risks for Web Apps
Modern applications often involve rich client applications and APIs, such as
JavaScript in the browser and mobile apps, that connect to an API of some kind
(SOAP/XML, REST/JSON, RPC, GWT, etc.). These APIs are often unprotected and
contain numerous vulnerabilities.
A10: Underprotected APIs
27. b) Top 10 Application Security Risks
for Mobile Apps (2016)
28. Top 10 Application Security Risks
for Mobile Apps
M1: Improper Platform Usage
M2: Insecure Data Storage
M3: Insecure Communication
M4: Insecure Authentication
M5: Insufficient Cryptography
M6: Insecure Authorization
M7: Client Code Quality
M8: Code Tampering
M9: Reverse Engineering
M10: Extraneous Functionality
29. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This category covers misuse of a platform feature or failure to use platform security controls.
It might include Android intents, platform permissions, misuse of TouchID, the Keychain, or
some other security control that is part of the mobile operating system. There are several
ways that mobile apps can experience this risk.
M1: Improper Platform Usage
30. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This new category is a combination of M2 + M4 from Mobile Top Ten 2014. This covers
insecure data storage and unintended data leakage.
M2: Insecure Data Storage
31. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This covers poor handshaking, incorrect SSL versions, weak negotiation, cleartext
communication of sensitive assets, etc.
M3: Insecure Communication
32. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This category captures notions of authenticating the end user or bad session management.
This can include:
➢ Failing to identify the user at all when that should be required
➢ Failure to maintain the user's identity when it is required
➢ Weaknesses in session management
M4: Insecure Authentication
33. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
The code applies cryptography to a sensitive information asset. However, the cryptography is
insufficient in some way. Note that anything and everything related to TLS or SSL goes in M3.
Also, if the app fails to use cryptography at all when it should, that probably belongs in M2.
This category is for issues where cryptography was attempted, but it wasn't done correctly.
M5: Insufficeint Cryptography
34. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This is a category to capture any failures in authorization (e.g., authorization decisions in the
client side, forced browsing, etc.). It is distinct from authentication issues (e.g., device
enrolment, user identification, etc.). If the app does not authenticate users at all in a
situation where it should (e.g., granting anonymous access to some resource or service when
authenticated and authorized access is required), then that is an authentication failure not
an authorization failure.
M6: Insecure Autorization
35. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This was the "Security Decisions Via Untrusted Inputs", one of our lesser-used categories.
This would be the catch-all for code-level implementation problems in the mobile client.
That's distinct from server-side coding mistakes. This would capture things like buffer
overflows, format string vulnerabilities, and various other code-level mistakes where the
solution is to rewrite some code that's running on the mobile device.
M7: Client Code Quality
36. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This category covers binary patching, local resource modification, method hooking, method
swizzling, and dynamic memory modification. Once the application is delivered to the mobile
device, the code and data resources are resident there. An attacker can either directly modify
the code, change the contents of memory dynamically, change or replace the system APIs
that the application uses, or modify the application's data and resources. This can provide
the attacker a direct method of subverting the intended use of the software for personal or
monetary gain.
M8: Code Tampering
37. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
This category includes analysis of the final core binary to determine its source code, libraries,
algorithms, and other assets. Software such as IDA Pro, Hopper, otool, and other binary
inspection tools give the attacker insight into the inner workings of the application. This may
be used to exploit other nascent vulnerabilities in the application, as well as revealing
information about back end servers, cryptographic constants and ciphers, and intellectual
property.
M9: Reverse Engineering
38. Top 10 Security Risks for Mobile
Apps
Often, developers include hidden backdoor functionality or other internal development
security controls that are not intended to be released into a production environment. For
example, a developer may accidentally include a password as a comment in a hybrid app.
Another example includes disabling of 2-factor authentication during testing.

20. Penetration Tests & Red Team Exercises
64. SQL Server Security Best
Practices
Efficiency and security have an inverse relationship to one another.
You can have high efficiency or high security, but not both.
Example: `Small Bank Company` tend to favor efficiency over security:
Cost limitations. This is the first and obvious reason. Community banks are fighting a constant battle to
remain competitive. Implementing security in systems adds costs - there is no way around it.
Risk. It's not always a conscious decision for a bank to improve efficiency by sacrificing security.
Sometimes there's a lack of understanding of the risks associated with the systems we deploy.
Personnel limitations. The many-hats syndrome runs rampant in smaller community banks.
Regulatory emphasis. The current regulatory environment stresses controls as they relate to policy and
procedures.
65. SQL Server Security Best

71. Risk Management for DB
Database security concerns the use of a broad range of information security
controls to protect databases (potentially including the data, the database
applications or stored functions, the database systems, the database servers
and the associated network links) against compromises of their confidentiality,
integrity and availability.
It involves various types or categories of controls, such as technical,
procedural/administrative and physical. Database security is a specialist topic
within the broader realms of computer security, information security and risk
management.
72. Risk Management for DBA
Security risks to database systems include, for example:
× unintended activity or misuse by authorized database users, database
administrators, or network/systems managers, or by unauthorized users or
hackers (e.g. inappropriate access to sensitive data, metadata or functions
within databases, or inappropriate changes to the database programs,
structures or security configurations);
× Malware infections causing incidents such as unauthorized access, leakage or
disclosure of personal or proprietary data, deletion of or damage to the data or
programs, interruption or denial of authorized access to the database, attacks
on other systems and the unanticipated failure of database services;
73. Risk Management for DBA
Security risks to database systems include, for example:
× Overloads, performance constraints and capacity issues resulting in the inability
of authorized users to use databases as intended;
× Physical damage to database servers caused by computer room fires or floods,
overheating, lightning, accidental liquid spills, static discharge, electronic
breakdowns/equipment failures and obsolescence;
× Design flaws and programming bugs in databases and the associated programs
and systems, creating various security vulnerabilities (e.g. unauthorized privilege
escalation ), data loss/corruption, performance degradation etc.;
× Data corruption and/or loss caused by the entry of invalid data or commands,
mistakes in database or system administration processes, sabotage/criminal
damage etc.
74. Cyber Defense
| Practical Risk Analysis and Threat
Modeling
Step 1: Make A List Of What You're Trying To Protect
Step 2: Draw A Diagram And Add Notes
Step 3: Make A List Of Your Adversaries And What They Want
Step 4: Brainstorm Threats From These Adversaries
Step 5: Estimate Probability And Potential Damage (The Overall Risk)
Step 6: Brainstorm Countermeasures And Their Issues
Step 7: Plan, Test, Pilot, Monitor, Troubleshoot and Repeat
75. Conclusion
Even a crude risk analysis and hardening plan is vastly better
than just winging it,
and in many ways a crude plan is better than an overly formal one
if the formal one will never be completed...
or even started
(another case of "the perfect is the enemy of the good").
I hope this seven-step recipe will help you get your own security projects underway!
80. Three Pillars of a Secure Hybrid
Cloud Environment
× Pillar One: risk assessment and management
A definition of the risks that apply to various asset(s), based on their business criticality.
An assessment of the current status of each risk before it’s moved to the cloud. Using this information,
each risk can be accepted, mitigated, transferred or avoided.
An assessment of the risk profile of each asset, assuming it has been moved to the cloud.
× Pillar Two: policy and compliance
Cloud providers need to understand that simply listing compliance certifications isn’t sufficient. In line with
the mantra of transparency explored in the previous point, providers should take a proactive stance to
sharing their security implementations and controls.
Dimension Data often assists clients by providing them with a list of questions
that we believe they should be posing to cloud providers as part of the
evaluation process, to ensure they’re covering all the bases.’
81. Three Pillars of a Secure Hybrid
Cloud Environment
Pillar Three: provider transparency
× Governance: the ability of an organisation to govern and measure enterprise risk
introduced by cloud.
× Legal issues: regulations, and requirements to protect the privacy of data, and the
security of information and computer systems.
× Compliance and audit: maintaining and proving compliance when using the cloud.
× Information management and data security: managing cloud data, and responsibility for
data confidentiality, integrity and availability.
× Portability and interoperability: the ability to move data or services from one provider to
another, or bring them back in-house.
× Business continuity and disaster recovery: operational processes and procedures for
business continuity and disaster recovery.
82. Three Pillars of a Secure Hybrid
Cloud Environment
Pillar Three: provider transparency
× Data centre: evaluating any elements of a provider’s data centre architecture and
operations that could be detrimental to ongoing services.
× Incident response, notification and remediation: adequate incydent detection, response,
notification, and remediation.
× Application security: securing application software running on or developed in the cloud.
× Encryption and key management: identifying proper encryption usage and scalable key
management.
× Identity and access management: assessing an organisation’s readiness to conduct
cloud-based identity, entitlement, and access management.
× Virtualisation: risks associated with multi-tenancy, virtual machine isolation and co-
residence, hypervisor vulnerabilities, etc.
84. Driving DevOps Security
Operations have become increasingly important as the software world
shifts to a more service-oriented approach. Implementing a DevOps
model is an essential move for most software companies to maintain
success. The recent adoption of DevOps has been rapid and widespread
while security best practices have been slow to keep pace. It is clear that
the transformation has helped organizations improve their velocity and
improve their products as they grow.
As cybersecurity risks continue to mount, security best practices must be
included in every team's workflow. By understanding and facilitating the
cultural shift that DevOps requires, you can help your team work faster
and more securely, with sustainable results. Download the book above
to learn everything you need to know to start running DevOps securely
at scale.
