Provide DevSecOps teams observability into GitHub Action workflows The new capabilities are our first steps towards building shared tooling and experience by extending the reporting from container scans into Azure Security Center-providing security teams better insight and understanding as to the source of vulnerable container images and the workflows and repositories they come from. Securing Container images is one great way of shifting security left, but organizations also need to give visibility into delivery pipelines and registry scans to their security teams.Īt Microsoft Build 2021, we are excited to announce the public preview of Azure Security Center (ASC) integration with GitHub Actions. This helps developers scan for common vulnerabilities in their container images before pushing to a container registry. At last year’s Ignite, we discussed ways to shift left by adding security scans to container images created as part of Continuous Integration (CI) workflow. It starts with incorporating security into the early stages of the development lifecycle (shift left) along with providing end-to-end observability to facilitate collaboration between the development and security teams. So how can your organization begin their DevSecOps adoption journey? Embracing DevSecOps is a software delivery advantage! By uncovering vulnerabilities earlier, your team can save time remediating issues and realizing compliancy, while also minimizing any associated costs.

These leaders are integrating security into delivery pipelines, leveraging modern platform capabilities and fostering collaboration between the development and security teams in the latest evolution of the DevOps methodology, DevSecOps. Conversely, Digital leaders recognize the importance of shifting security left and tackling vulnerabilities as soon as they arise. NIST estimated the cost of fixing a security defect in production can be up to 60 times more expensive than during the development cycle. While many organizations have opted to push security to the end of application development and management, this can be very costly. Unfortunately, while DevOps practices have enabled faster, more efficient development cycles, they’ve also uncovered a new bottleneck-security. Kickstart collaborative DevSecOps practices with GitHub and AzureĬompanies on the forefront of digital transformation have seen DevOps provide software engineers and operations teams with a faster and more efficient way to develop code.
