DevSecOps | Infinetix

infiNetix assists organizations in implementing the DevSecOps methodology. This is a safer and more secure approach than just DevOps. To be able to take full advantage of the dexterity and responsiveness of a DevOps approach, IT Security should also play a major role in your application’s life cycle.

DevOps and DevSecOps methodologies are very similar wherein both are part of the agile framework that breaks projects into smaller and manageable chunks. However, DevSecOps integrates security into every step of the development process. Needless to say, DevSecOps is a more advanced, secured and fortified version of DevOps. In the past, security takes a backseat and its role is isolated to a specific team in the final stage of development. That was not a problem back then when the Waterfall framework was prevalent. Fast forward to now where most companies and organizations follow the Agile approach, the previous, outdated security practice followed in the Waterfall approach can hurt even the most efficient DevOps initiatives.

Our certified team of experts is ready to transform your organization information technology footprint into a highly efficient, effective, and secure service that makes your organization easier to manage. Our collaborative framework of DevSecOps emphasizes the need to build a security foundation into the DevOps initiatives.

Our Practices of How DevSecOps is being implemented

Incorporating security tools in the development integration pipeline

Working together with security and development teams on the threat model

Assessing infrastructure-related security policies before deployment

Concentrating on the security requirements as a part of product backlog

Security experts always assessing automated tests

CI/CD

Continuous Integration/ Continuous Delivery

CD (Continuous Delivery)

Continuous Delivery is the next step after Continuous Integration. This part is the process of deploying applications into the Test or Production environments in a consistent and reliable way. Continuous Delivery means that deployment of all code changes to a testing and/or production environment gets automated in this extension. In short, aside from your automated tests, your release process and deployments will become automated as well with a simple click of a button.

CI (Continuous Integration)

High-performing DevOps teams establish a growth mindset. Developers’ updates are always validated by creating a build and having automated tests run against it. Continuous Integration (CI) emphasizes on the importance of automation tests to ensure that any new builds would not break the main branch.

Automation Testing

At infiNetix, we also provide complete functional and performance testing for all your Desktop-based and Web-based Applications. The results of DevSecOps, CI and CD, mean that the pipeline should deliver high-quality products quickly and consistently, and Test Automation is an integral part of this. Here is why:

Speed

Automation Testing begins by creating a test script in an automation test tool. This minimizes the repeatable steps that slows down the process during Manual Testing. Once the test script is prepared, the code in development is tested against that script and checked for any unexpected results. Any deviation is noted and investigated for possible errors. Having test scripts in Automation Test Tools ready to run at each sprint eliminates the human factor of missing errors due to repetitive testing.

Consistency

Accuracy

Consistency & Accuracy

This is one of the benefits of implementing Automation Tests since each test script is expected to behave consistently no matter how many times you run them.

Ease of Use

Once a test script is created, any major update can be tested against it to see if any part of the main branch is affected. Automation Tests can work non-stop and check for any deviations and even non-compliance.

CAC (Compliance as Code)

A Compliance as Code approach removes manual, laborious and inefficient steps while minimizing the possibility for human errors and improves reliability and scalability. With this regularity, automation organizations are able to decrease unpredictability between audits providing consistent products while maintaining compliance. Compliance automation, by integrating or implementing policies as code, is vital for organizations to be successful in constant compliance.
