Code signing: securing against supply chain vulnerabilities

CircleCI

This collection of agents and actors involved in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) is called the software supply chain. Because you are working with several moving parts — including open source material, APIs, and so on — it is crucial to know just how secure each component of your software supply chain is.

Don’t overlook insider threats—and more cybersecurity lessons

Coveros

Zero trust principles, data loss prevention (DLP) tools, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) could have averted mass data extraction. A threat actor gained access to the development environment using a developer’s compromised endpoint and took portions of source code and some proprietary LastPass technical information. What happened?

In short: team culture plays a larger role than even technology in SDLC security adoption. However, high on developers’ wish list is to start running scans on their workstations, before sending code to the CI/CD pipeline, so they can assess the security of their software components – especially open source ones – earlier.

GitLab vs Github?—?What Are The Key Differences And Which One Is Better? [2020 Update]

Codegiant

Give the image below a glance to see how GitLab compares to Github: Even though Github offers quite a large number of features, GitLab simply handles your entire software development lifecycle ( SDLC ). Although Github doesn’t provide you with all the features for a full SDLC, Github won’t overwhelm you with “halfway-done” features.
