The DevSecOps philosophy, mindset, and practices.

Establishing a secure and structured Git workflow for collaboration, managing repositories safely, ignoring sensitive data, and rewriting Git history to remove leaked secrets.

Implementing robust security practices for your Git repositories, including access controls, branch protection, commit signing with GPG keys, secure authentication using SSH keys, and more.

Preventing and detecting secret leaks proactively through tools like TruffleHog, implementing pre-commit hooks, and using scanning tools for secrets management.

Scanning dependencies for vulnerabilities using OWASP Dependency-Check and understanding CVEs, CVSS, CWE, and CPE identifiers to keep your software supply chain secure.

Improving your code quality and security using security linting tools like Bandit, identifying issues such as SQL injections, insufficient input validation, improper error handling, insecure deserialization, and weak cryptographic practices.

Security linting your Dockerfiles using tools like Hadolint to catch common issues like overly permissive configurations and insecure instructions.

Building secure container images with best practices for writing Dockerfiles and managing Docker registries, including using multi-stage builds, setting proper user permissions, and avoiding pitfalls.

Scanning your Docker images for vulnerabilities using container-scanning tools like Trivy, interpreting scan reports, and applying findings proactively.

Setting up and securing your Kubernetes infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) techniques and tools like Terraform.

Implementing immutable infrastructure principles to reduce configuration drift, minimize your attack surface, enforce security compliance automatically, and speed up vulnerability response.

Managing your infrastructure securely with Terraform, analyzing IaC files using security-focused tools such as Checkov, and addressing common security issues like permissive IAM roles, unencrypted resources, and publicly accessible resources.

Creating and deploying secure Kubernetes manifests, including detailed steps for avoiding common pitfalls.

Conducting security analyses of your Kubernetes manifests using static analysis tools like KubeLinter to enforce secure defaults and compliance requirements.

Building and managing your Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) using tools like Syft and OWASP Dependency-Track to improve your software supply chain security.

Implementing proactive and continuous security through Security Policy as Code (SPaC) using tools such as NeuVector, enforcing compliance standards, vulnerability management, and creating automated response rules and policies.

Building end-to-end continuous security and proactive security practices into your DevOps and DevSecOps processes.

Building real-world DevSecOps pipelines using GitLab CI, enforcing and reporting security policies, scanning for vulnerabilities, preventing secret leaks, linting code, detecting misconfigurations, preventing supply chain attacks, generating SBOMs, and more.
