SSL – Shift Security Left

SSL – Shift Security Left

Promotes security as a common responsibility shared by all teams involved in software development.
Focusing on
Speed vs Security
Skill vs Mindset
Lack vs Positive Communication
The ”Sec” process wraps the well-known DevOps framework which is already in place for most companies that build software.

Adressing SSL

Security activities can not be left until end of development

Vulnerabilities lead to increase in cost and time

Increased in complexity in recent software. Largerly “assembled”

Protecting sensitive data. Mitigating insider threats and
solid regulation compliance

Insecure designing can lead to deadlocks. Impossible to fix bugs

Dev and security teams need to collaborate regularly

Lack security skills/knowledge during all stages of development

Security activities are usually not adapted in agile methodologies

Adressing SSL – Why?

Let’s take a step back.

Failing to firmly proritize software security can lead to serious consequences

Lack of understanding

Cost

Time constraint

Prioritization of features over security

Perception of invincibility

That’s when DevSecOps methodology came to light

Pillars of DevSecOps

Rapid, cost-effective software delivery
In a non-DevSecOps envirnoments security issues can easily be both time and cost consuming.

Improved, proactive security
Cybersecurity issues are address as soon as they are identified. In all SDLC/stages. Before additional dependencies are used, placed, or coded.

Accelerated security vulnerability patching
The ability to identify and patch common vulnerabilities and exposures Common Vulnerabilities Exposures. (CVE) is diminished.

Automation compatible with modern development
Can be integrated into an automated test suite for operations teams if an organization uses a CI/CD pipeline to ship their software.

A repeatable and adaptive process
A mature implementation of DevSecOps ensures consistent security across changing environments and requirements. Resulting in a solid automation, configuration management, orchestration, containers, immutable infrastructure, and even serverless compute environments.

SSL vs DevSecOps

Relationshop lies in their shared goals

Shifting security left allows the DevSecOps methodology enables organizations to implement and enforce security measures seamlessly, leveraging automation and collaboration, and aligning the objectives of development, operations, and security teams.

‘Security Shift left’ is a DevSecOps motto: SSL is a mind set and an approach that encourages software engineers to move security from the right (end) to the left (beginning) of the DevOps (delivery) process.

  • Speed vs Security
  • Skill vs Mindset
  • Lack vs Positive Communication

Skills gap. 80% of organizations tell us they have a hard time finding and hiring security professionals and 71% say it’s impacting their ability to deliver security projects

SORINT’s Tailored Journey

SORINT’s Tailored Journey

Closer Look

Areas and fields of focus

Developers security self-assessment
  1. Measure the overall development team knowledge about security related-topics.
  2. Indentify lack of
    common security principles/knowledge.
  3. Build a roadmap to plan the actual
    “Shift Left”.
Security tools consultancy
  1. Implement and configure SCA, SAST and DAST tools within the CI/CD pipeline.
  2. Experts advise best practices to properly configure these tools, and support developers to better understand the results.
  3. Suitable AST tools depending on projects.
AppSec design
  1. Evaluate/identify possible threats and how to address each of them.
  2. Deliver a threat model that is a conceptual represantation of the system and the threats that have been identified.
Developers security awareness
  1. Best practices for secure/defensive coding and how to avoid common mistakes.
  2. Support developers to build their own “security mindset”
  3. Customized trainings/workshops.

A Well-Known Financial Institution

Introduce Shift Security Left

01
Challenge
Client is developing a critical software app. Requirements included:
  • Compliance with industry standards and regulations.
  • Regulate and intermediate the workflow and pipelines.
  • Introduce and increase security awareness and practices.
  • No security measures implemented. Low security awareness.
02
Goind forward
Intensive self-assessment sessions with security and development teams.
03
Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
In a proposal form.
  • A new workflow to remove obstacles between the teams.
  • Workshop to introduce new tools and how to use/read the outputs: e.g.
    • SAST(Static Analysis Security Testing) to find vulnerability patterns in source code.
    • SCA (Software Composition Analysis) assessment done by third-party tool.
  • Help development team choose the final pipeline tools.
Result & delivery (UTD)
  • Discussed all the finding with both teams. (Security Development)
  • Submitted multiple reports on the security level of the application.
  • Agreed on a smooth and seamlessly automated workflow embraces security.
  • Guide a solid security-aware culture throughout the company. Long-lasting anf will influence other software projects in the company.
