Companies are struggling to address the gap that exists between how they're using containers and their level of confidence about security and misconfigurations. The more containers dominate application development, the more imperative it is to integrate container security measures throughout the process, bringing it earlier in the app dev process and integrating it with the orchestration layer. Portability and integration are critical as companies are trying to simultaneously operationalize and secure containers and microservices across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. The lag between container security and container adoption represents significant risks to individual businesses as well as the broader ecosystem. It's time to close this security gap before it widens, and DevOps has a central role to play ...

Without question, cyberattacks represent a viable threat to a business' bottom line. A new report from Radware shows that security professionals estimate the average cost of a cyberattack in excess of $1.1M. For those organizations that calculate (versus estimate) the cost of an attack, that number increases to $1.67M. The resulting business impacts? Just as alarming ...
In the fast-moving world of DevOps, security sometimes got left by the wayside on the way to the next iteration.

This includes features like user authentication, digital signatures, and encryption ...
While DevOps has increasingly been adopted across many organizations, it is now becoming central to how they operate — and is maturing to include the database in DevOps flows. That is the headline finding from Redgate's third State of Database DevOps Report. Looking through the results, there are four clear conclusions for everyone involved in DevOps ...
DevOps continues to gain significant momentum as teams look to master Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). This is transforming how and what is being developed and released. As a result, software development teams and organizations continue to undergo rapid change. Not only that, but teams are also getting increasingly more diverse, in location, generation, gender and culture. So how do the technical and people managers in DevOps adjust? ...
With so many people relying so heavily on apps, it is critical for developers to assure continuous quality throughout the entire software development life cycle. And it all starts with testing ...
Containers have reshaped the technology landscape in the past year. Picking up where virtualization left off, they have brought new levels of portability to cloud deployments and ushered in the move to microservices, making it easier to break applications into smaller parts that can be updated more frequently and with less disruption. But what does container deployment really look like in the enterprise and what does it mean for 2019? ...
One of the latest trends is the movement towards continuous development and the need for feature flags to enable that. We knew that feature flags enable developers to move fast while breaking nothing. But we also wanted to know ...
