What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps is a software development practice that focuses on the security of applications and systems. It combines the roles of developers, operations engineers, and security professionals to ensure that applications are developed in an efficient way while also being secure. The goal is to increase efficiency by reducing costs associated with fixing vulnerabilities after they've been deployed into production environments.
The increased efficiency brought about by DevSecOps Tools can be attributed to its ability to streamline processes across all three groups involved: development, operations and security teams. For example, if there's an issue with your application's code or infrastructure configuration that needs fixing before it goes live on production servers (i.e., somewhere where users could see it), this process will now happen much faster because everyone involved has access to all relevant information at once instead of having separate conversations between each individual group member who might not know what another person knows about a particular problem area within their respective domains
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Software composition analysis (SCA) is a method of analysing and managing software components. It involves identifying open source components, inventorying them, analysing them for vulnerabilities and remediating them when necessary.
SCA tools can help you ensure that your organization has the right processes in place to identify and remediate all known vulnerabilities in your applications before they are released into production.
Top 5 DevSecOps Tools
WhiteSource Bolt
WhiteSource Bolt is a DevSecOps tool that automates the process of finding and fixing vulnerabilities in your code. It's an extension of WhiteSource, which also provides you with information about open source components used in your applications. The Bolt tool allows you to scan your application for known vulnerabilities, then fixes them automatically using one-click patches or a patching workflow that can be customized based on the severity of each vulnerability found.
OWASP Dependency Check
OWASP Dependency Check
OWASP Dependency Check is a tool that helps you check your dependencies against known vulnerabilities. It can be used to avoid them when building new applications, or it can be used to ensure that existing applications are free of known vulnerabilities.
Sonatype Nexus
Sonatype Nexus is an enterprise-grade repository manager that allows you to manage all types of artifacts, including binary and source code. It's also useful for managing your entire software supply chain, from development through production.
Sonatype Nexus has a centralized control over all software assets in your organization, making it easier to ensure they're up-to-date with the latest patches and bug fixes. This means less time spent trying to track down outdated versions of applications across different environments (like staging or production), which could lead to security vulnerabilities if not updated regularly enough.
Snyk
Snyk is a security platform that automates the process of finding and fixing vulnerabilities in open source projects. It integrates with CI/CD tools, which means developers don't have to do anything extra to get started. Snyk also provides an API for custom integrations into your existing workflow if you want more control over how it works.
Black Duck Hub
Black Duck Hub is a tool that helps you find, manage and secure open source software. It allows you to track license compliance, identify security vulnerabilities and make sure your projects are free from copyright infringements.
