  With the ever-evolving digital world, hardening security in applications post-deployment is not a viable process anymore. DevSecOps, or the integration of security into the development life cycle itself, is now an absolute method for organizations to develop secure, secure applications at the same speed that they are developing them. What is DevSecOps? DevSecOps takes the DevOps culture to the next level by incorporating security activities at each stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Unlike security being a separate phase and worked on by a different team, DevSecOps incorporates security at each stage of it, right from the code-writers to the infrastructure administrators. The concept is straightforward: move security left. By fixing security issues upfront, organizations can eliminate vulnerabilities, prevent expenses, and improve time-to-market without compromising security posture.

  In the modern era of digitalization, where 94% of organizations use cloud services, validation of security is an essential aspect of sound cybersecurity measures. Manual security tests are now unable to match rapid deployment schedules and the dynamic nature of cloud infrastructures. This is where automated cloud security validation may come in, ensuring ongoing protection and real-time threat detection. Automated Cloud Security Validation Automated cloud security validation is an ongoing process that continuously scans, tests, and validates security controls across cloud environments in the absence of human intervention. Unlike the need for frequent manual audits, this process creates ongoing 24/7 security scans that instantly detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance issues. Take, for example, the security strategy of Netflix's cloud. The media organization processes over 15 billion hours of content every month on AWS. Security checks by hand at that scale are n...

How companies are using hybrid and multi-cloud architectures to drive innovation, lower cost, and achieve stratospheric scalability In today's fast-changing digital world, the challenge for business is huge: to build infrastructure that can be resilient but agile enough to shift with the latest business needs. This is being addressed increasingly by hybrid and multi-cloud frameworks that take advantage of the best of several cloud environments. In 2024, 73 percent of enterprise respondents to surveys had embraced hybrid cloud solutions, a significant deviation from how businesses manage cloud architecture. This change is not necessarily technological; it's about getting competitive differentiation through nimble designs, cost savings, and risk avoidance. Let's go through how pioneering organizations are designing for agility and what that holds for your digital transformation path.
