  Astrogeology - Understanding the...

  Astrogeology is the branch of geology that applies the principles and methods of Earth-based geological sciences to the study of celestial bodies, particularly planets, moons, and asteroids. It combines the exploration of planetary surfaces with an understanding of their internal structure, composition, and the forces that shape them. Astrogeology serves as a key discipline in unraveling the mysteries of the solar system and beyond, providing insights into the processes that govern the formation and evolution of planets and other celestial bodies. 
  The significance of astrogeology lies in its ability to broaden our knowledge of the universe and our place within it. By studying the geological features of other planets, moons, and small bodies, scientists can draw comparisons to Earth, shedding light on both the uniqueness and the commonalities of planets throughout the solar system. Understanding the geology of celestial bodies is crucial not only for scientific curiosity but also for practical purposes such as space exploration, resource mining, and the potential for human colonization of other worlds. 
  Throughout history, humanity has been intrigued by the heavens, with many early civilizations interpreting celestial phenomena through myth and observation. As space exploration advanced, the quest to understand the geology of other planets became central to unraveling the history of the solar system. The first space missions to the Moon, such as NASA's Apollo program, provided tangible geological data from an extraterrestrial body, leading to the realization that planetary bodies undergo similar geological processes to those observed on Earth, though often at a different scale or in altered environments. The study of these processes has since been expanded to other planets, including Mars, Venus, and the outer giants like Jupiter and Saturn.

  Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help. 
   
   
   
  In this practical book, authors John Walsh, Uzi Ailon, and Matt Barker provide conceptual frameworks, technology overviews, and useful code snippets to bridge the gap between development, IT, and security to integrate robust identity security across apps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and cloud native, hybrid and multicloud, process automation, IoT, and more. You'll learn: 
   
   
   
  ● What developers need to know about managing secrets and identity to build safer apps 
   
   
   
  ● What machine identities, secrets, and credentials are—and how to secure them 
   
   
   
  ● How to secure the software supply chain to build safer apps 
   
   
   
  ● How identity security fits into modern software development practices
