Positioning

DevSecOps aims to create a better security posture for the organization by improving the entire security culture. Every vulnerability is meticulously identified and the resolution is prioritized, thoroughly documented, and carried out individually.

DevSecOps Consulting Services identifies the most vulnerable concerns ahead of time to create tactics to avoid security flaws preemptively.

Resilience

No code or security effort is flawless, and as much as it pains to admit, your security will somehow be compromised someday. As such, what matters is the ability to understand what went wrong through reviewable documentation letting you create iterations of modifications to adapt to more and more risky situations.

DevSecOps provides quick constructive feedback that allows you to stay ahead of the attackers to ensure that your infrastructure and code(IaC) can be re-stacked quickly while maintaining data security and availability.

Red Team

DevSecOps uses Red Team to find vulnerabilities in your cybersecurity effectiveness and exploit them. The point of the activity is to emulate an actual attack by sanctioning ethical hackers to attack your systems.

The engagement is like a drill used to see how well your defenses would withstand a real cyber attack. After all, “No battle plan survives contact with the enemy” – Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke, 1875.

Log Everything

At the core of what makes DevSecOps so effective as Cyber Security Services is logging. Every resource is logged without exception to create a holistic picture of exactly what is happening in your IT environment at all times to create excellent situational awareness.

It is critical to know the type of vulnerability being used to compromise the platform and the resources available to counter the efforts of the malicious actors. Taking stock of what your strengths and weaknesses are is a major part of any defensive posture.

Chaos and Recovery

Zero-day exploits like GHOST or ShellShock happen randomly and require a lot of effort to remediate. DevSecOps Services acknowledges this inevitable chaos and leaves room for it using a series of actions that are planned to react immediately to such situations.

An organization that only practises for perfection will certainly fail and this is a weakness that attackers are certain to make use of. It is therefore better to prepare reactions and select the appropriate ones as the situation presents itself to achieve the best outcome.

Shift Left

“Shift left” is a practice where software engineers move the security considerations taken in the development process from the end to the beginning, making it a proactive process in every iteration.

This practice is at the very foundation of the innovation in Cyber Security Services driven by DevSecOps and ensures that every component is configured, patched, and documented immaculately.

Leadership, Communication, and Ownership

As mentioned before, DevSecOps implementation is incomplete unless it is ingrained into your organizational culture. By clearly communicating the responsibilities of security, processes, and product accountability, developers and engineers are empowered to take ownership of their work with pride.

Q3 Technologies makes sure that workflows are customized using technologies and protocols that align with respective teams and projects, making them feel more invested in the outcomes of the projects.

Traceability, Auditability, and Accountability Culture

• Traceability refers to tracking configuration items(CI) across the development cycle to make sure that they are accounted for and are accompanied by reliable information to aid compliance and code security.
• Auditability is the ease at which audits can be carried out to review compliance and security control points. All changes to procedural and administrative controls should be well-documented to accomplish this.
• Accountability means to enable visibility of actions and their effects. Monitoring systems customized to raise alerts based on well-crafted priorities can supply a clear picture of shortcomings and areas of improvement to increase your reaction speed.
