Wakefield Research’s Post

A survey of 500 software engineering leaders (38%) and practitioners finds nearly half reporting they can’t release code to production without risking failures, with 39% noting their code fails to push to production at least half the time.

DevSecOps represents a fundamental shift in software development, integrating security at every stage. This approach addresses the traditional oversight where security was often an afterthought, leading to costly late-stage fixes. By embedding security from the beginning, DevSecOps ensures a more secure, efficient, and cost-effective development process. Check out our latest article — Breaking Down DevSecOps, where we delve into the essentials of DevSecOps, its benefits, core principles, and practical steps for implementation. It’s a must-read for developers, security professionals, and business leaders: https://lnkd.in/du8X2yf5 #devops #devsecops #programming

The folks at Dazz recently published a blog detailing the risks posed by ShadowDevops which consists of essentially “shadow code” and “shadow pipelines” shadow code - code that makes its way into production, but is not known, maintained, documented -- and most importantly, vetted and approved. Shadow Code can take a few forms: - Legacy code that is no longer actively maintained or documented, but is still being used - Third-Party / Open source: the use of third-party libraries and code obtained and used without official approval and vetting -Unofficial code: undocumented code written by developers that have not gone through official testing processes Shadow pipelines occur for many of the same reasons as well. Unknown development pipelines include: - Non-standard development practices: individual developers or teams may use development practices and tools that differ from the standard processes put in place by the DevOps or IT team. -Ad-hoc pipelines: developers may create their separate pipelines for prototyping or experimenting, and these pipelines may contain code that eventually works its way into production. shadow code introduces risks in the following ways: - Vulnerabilities that are introduced from code that hasn’t been identified and/or monitored. One of the biggest causes of shadow code - third-party libraries -- is now a pressing security risk. - Auditing: unvetted and unmonitored code can lead to auditing and potential compliance issues - Stability: code that hasn’t been sanctioned can introduce performance and stability issues #devsecops #appsecurity

#️⃣ Technology Perspectives 📅 Avatar Photo By: Paul Krill on March 25, 2024 🛠️ Puppet’s DevOps Report: The Benefits of Platform Engineering 📊 According to Puppet by Perforce’s 2024 State of DevOps Report, platform engineering yields significant benefits including increased developer productivity, enhanced software quality, reduced deployment lead time, and improved application stability. 💼 Key Findings: 🚀 Increased Developer Productivity: Standardizing tools and processes through platform engineering reduces the chaos of tools, tasks, and information, providing developers with self-service environments for quicker work. 🔒 Enhanced Security: Platform engineering teams are now responsible for building and enforcing security processes, empowering more individuals to take ownership of security within their organizations. 💰 Cost Savings and Efficiency: Additional benefits include cost savings, reduced time for product development, fewer errors, and lower risk of security breaches. 🔑 Challenges: 🔄 Despite its benefits, platform engineering faces challenges such as increased complexity, securing resources, and obtaining buy-in from teams and developers. 📈 Future Trends: 🔍 The report suggests that platform engineering will continue to evolve, with an increasing focus on security and compliance efforts, as well as troubleshooting security issues as a growing trend within platform engineering teams. 📥 The full report can be downloaded from puppet.com, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of platform engineering in the realm of DevOps. #️⃣ #DevOps #PlatformEngineering #SoftwareQuality #DeveloperProductivity #Security #Compliance #StateOfDevOps #PuppetByPerforce

An excellent overview of Internal Developer Platform scenarios. No doubt, consistency of provisioning environments helps with speed, security, and maintainability and allows developers to focus on what they do best - writing software rather than reinventing the wheel each time. As part of the Vancouver DevOps Meetup, we hosted Humanitec two years ago. It is great to see that the platform is growing. #devops #idp #security #softwareengineering
