    • So geht’s

In this episode, we are privileged to have a profound conversation on actionable DevOps with a security twist. Our esteemed guest is seasoned security expert Jay Mar-Tang, whose extensive experience and personal journey from a phishing victim to a cybersecurity advocate make him a trusted source of insights.
We delve into the crucial task of underlining cybersecurity risks, especially before a breach, and the challenges in aligning security priorities with developer workflows in DevOps. Jay emphasizes the omnipresence of security in IT and strongly advocates for its integration early in the development life cycle, highlighting the potential pitfalls like those exposed API keys lurking in your code base.
Our discussion covers social engineering attacks and stresses education as an effective defense. Jay sheds light on the essential role continuous testing plays in securing the DevOps pipeline and how effective collaboration with security teams can fortify the development process.
Jay also shares insights on the dynamics between blue and red teams, the importance of identity and access management, and the imperative role of testing. He addresses AI's emerging role in security and emphasizes that while automation aids the process, it's not a panacea.
We also tackle the tricky subject of security incident response and the potential traps for developers using intrusion tools hastily. Jay gives his take on the future of AI in attacks and the repercussions for security teams.
Bringing developers closer to cloud development security, Jay stresses the safety of personal information and extends an invitation for deeper security discussions. Wrapping up, we learn about the strategic impact of secure operations, the dire need for proactive approaches, and, most importantly, the significant role of individual responsibility in forging a secure path in DevOps, empowering each of us to contribute to a safer digital environment.
Don't neglect security in your DevOps process. Listen up now!
