TOPIC: How To Build a Zero Trusted DevOps Supply Chain

The Zero Trusted DevOps Supply Chain is a significant new CIO security priority for organisations. Industry analysts are reporting significant growth in this form of attack, with major impact on organisations, individuals and nations.
Criminal threat actors increasingly need only a single code vulnerability or a misconfiguration to potentially paralyze an entire ecosystem. Hence, it is absolutely critical that companies build Zero Trusted DevOps Supply Chains to ensure complete DevOps security from Code to Cloud. It’s time to get serious folks!

In this session focused on CloudGuard Spectral, you will learn how to protect your code and CI/CD in order to avoid exposed Secrets, API Keys, Tokens and Misconfigurations. The discussion will include guidance on how to securely deploy micro-services from deep shift-left to a running environment in k8s.

In addition, the main technical demo portion will show a wide range of integrations such as Git Lab and Azure DevOps Pipeline. Attendees of this hands-on session will receive 6-months of free access to a community Spectral account to scan any file, folder or repository.
