Security as Code is Becoming the New Baseline: Continuous Compliance in DevOps
There was a time when compliance meant a quarterly ritual. Someone from security would walk over with a spreadsheet, ask a few questions, tick a few boxes and disappear until the next audit cycle. The infrastructure team would scramble to prove that yes, encryption was enabled, and no, that S3 bucket was not public anymore. Everyone felt relieved, […]
Sophisticated Supply Chain Attack Targeting Trivy Expands to Checkmarx, LiteLLM
The supply chain attack that compromised Aqua Security’s Trivy open source security vulnerability scanner and its associated GitHub Actions earlier this month continues to expand, with software development tools from Checkmarx and LiteLLM being the latest victims of the sophisticated campaign.

Embedded DevOps: Bridging the Gap Between Firmware and Modern Delivery
Embedded software development has traditionally followed a different rhythm than mainstream software engineering. Hardware availability drives schedules. Validation cycles are longer. Releases are deliberate. Documentation is extensive. For good reason, embedded systems often operate in safety-critical or highly regulated environments. However, expectations around software delivery have shifted. Connected products, over-the-air updates, security mandates and shorter market windows […]
