DevSecOps for Azure - End-to-end supply chain security for GitHub Azure DevOps and the Azure cloud

David Okeyode, Joylynn Kirui

Synopsis

Businesses must prioritize security, especially when working in the constantly evolving Azure cloud. However, many organizations struggle to maintain security and compliance. Attackers are increasingly targeting software development processes, making software supply chain security crucial. This includes source control systems, build systems, CI/CD platforms, and various artifacts. With the help of this book, you’ll be able to enhance security and compliance in Azure software development processes.Starting with an overview of DevOps and its relationship with Agile methodologies and cloud computing, you'll gain a solid foundation in DevSecOps principles. The book then delves into the security challenges specific to DevOps workflows and how to address them effectively. You'll learn how to implement security measures in the planning phase, including threat modeling and secure coding practices. You'll also explore pre-commit security controls, source control security, and the integration of various security tools in the build and test phases. The book covers crucial aspects of securing the release and deploy phases, focusing on artifact integrity, infrastructure as code security, and runtime protection.By the end of this book, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to implement a secure code-to-cloud process for the Azure cloud.

Burnt - Fighting for Climate...

Chris Saltmarsh

Time is up. The climate crisis is no longer a future to be feared, but a devastating reality. We see it in the wildfires in California and floods across Britain—the "once in a generation" extreme weather events that now happen every year. 
 
 
 
In a world where those in charge are constantly letting us down, real change in our lifetime means taking power into our own hands. The task ahead of us is daunting, but the emergence of a new wave of movements focused on climate justice, equality, and solidarity also brings hope. 
 
 
 
Asking how we have arrived at this moment, Chris Saltmarsh argues that the profoundly political nature of the environmental crisis has been relentlessly downplayed. After all, how can solar panels save us while capitalism places profit over the future of the planet? Analyzing the failures of NGOs, the limitations of Extinction Rebellion and Youth Strikes, the role of trade unions, and the possibilities of a Green New Deal, Burnt issues a powerful call for a radical collective movement: saving the world is not enough; we must build a better one in the process.
