What Is DevSecOps? How to Automate Security Testing | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Security

What Is DevSecOps? How to Automate Security Testing By Matt Watson Every company wants to see their company getting press and media attention. Unless it is due to a hacker and a security breach. Every few weeks you see in the media stories of companies who were hacked. Getting a new credit card every few months because the data was hacked has been routine for most of us. The more that our world revolves around the internet and technology, the more cyber security becomes a big deal. Software applications are complex and can potentially have lots of different types of security issues. The issues range from bad code to misconfigured servers and everything in between. Solving this problem requires everyone to always be thinking about security implications of what they are working on. DevSecOps is a new movement to do just that. The goal is to get developers to be thinki... (more)

In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee Atchison, Principal Cloud Architect and Advocate at New Relic, discussed how this same philosophy can be applied to highly scaled applications, and can dramatically increase your resilience to failure.

Hybrid Cloud Security | @CloudExpo @Cavirin #API #SDN #AI #DX #DataCenter

According to a recent Gartner study, by 2020, it will be unlikelythat any enterprise will have a "no cloud" policy, and hybrid will be the most common use of the cloud. While the benefits of leveraging public cloud infrastructures are well understood, the desire to keep critical workloads and data on-premise in the private data center still remains. For enterprises, the hybrid cloud provides a best of both worlds solution. However, the leading factor that determines the preference to the hybrid cloud, among other things, is "security." Moreover, as the growth of the public cloud infrastructure continues, it is not hard to observe two key directions of focus by the cloud providers, namely: The geographical expansiveness of their public cloud infrastructure to grow the number of availability zones The richness of their services catalog to ensure cloud adopters are n...

Launching First Vendor-Agnostic Hybrid Data Gateway | @CloudExpo @ProgressSW #Cloud #BigData #Analytics

Join us at Cloud Expo June 6-8 to find out how to securely connect your cloud app to any cloud or on-premises data source - without complex firewall changes. More users are demanding access to on-premises data from their cloud applications. It's no longer a "nice-to-have" but an important differentiator that drives competitive advantages. It's the new "must have" in the hybrid era. Users want capabilities that give them a unified view of the data to get closer to customers and grow business. They're dealing with greater volumes of data than ever before, and much of this resides behind corporate firewalls. Traditional approaches for exposing this data, such as VPN and SSH tunneling are difficult to manage and not engineered for the cloud. If you want to create a frictionless data access experience for your customers, join us at Cloud Expo, June 6-8 in New York City.... (more)
