Zero Trust Starts at the Code: Building Secure Systems with PKI and DevOps Automation
BALA CHANDAR NAGALLA | | certificate lifecycle management, CI/CD security, devsecops, PKI, Software Supply Chain, zero-trustWhen a certificate expires, it can take down a production system, and teams usually only find out after something goes wrong. These issues are hard to catch because they rarely trigger alerts ...
Why Developer Workstations Have Become a Critical Part of the Software Supply Chain
Samuel Ogbonna | | CI/CD security, Developer Security, Developer Workstations, devsecops, open source security, Software Supply ChainFor years, software supply-chain security discussions focused on centralized infrastructure such as build servers, package registries, and CI/CD systems. Recent attacks suggest that this view is incomplete. The Megalodon campaign injected malicious ...
