5 Essential workflows for secure DevOps

Focusing on five essential workflows for secure DevOps, this text outlines strategies to enhance security, compliance, and monitoring in cloud-native environments, particularly when using containers and Kubernetes. It emphasizes the importance of integrating image scanning for early vulnerability detection, implementing runtime security with a zero-trust approach, and maintaining continuous compliance validation to meet standards like NIST, PCI, and HIPAA. The text also highlights the critical role of monitoring both Kubernetes and cloud services to ensure high availability and performance, advocating for the use of Prometheus for visibility and suggesting tools like PromCat.io for effective monitoring integration. Encouraging automation and adherence to best practices, the text suggests that embedding security and compliance in DevOps processes can improve operational efficiency without slowing down development and recommends leveraging the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform for further enhancing cloud service performance and security.
