Summary of "DevSecOps простым языком"

Core message

DevSecOps = integrate security into the whole delivery pipeline (shift-left) so security is an enabler, not a late-stage blocker.

Move checks left (developer laptop → commit → build → registry → cluster → runtime → external testing) to catch issues early when they’re cheapest to fix.
Security must be automated and part of engineering culture; pipeline failures due to security are a success signal (the system worked).

Pipeline stages, what they check, and example tools

Local developer level — prevent secret leaks
- Problem: hard-coded secrets accidentally committed (and persisting in git history).
- Fix: git pre-commit or pre-push scanners that block commits containing keys/tokens.
- Typical tools: Talisman, pre-commit hooks, custom secret-scanning scripts.
SAST — Static Application Security Testing (source code analysis)
- What it does: parse source, build AST/dependency tree, find insecure patterns (SQL injection, weak hashing, unsanitized output, etc.) without running the app.
- Enforcement: Quality gates in CI/CD (fail builds on Critical issues; send immediate feedback to developers).
- Typical tools: SonarQube, Semgrep, Checkmarx, Fortify.
SCA — Software Composition Analysis (third‑party/library risks)
- What it does: parse dependency manifests (package.json, go.mod, pom.xml, etc.), check component versions against vulnerability databases, and force updates for vulnerable libraries.
- Purpose: most apps are built from open‑source dependencies; attackers often target popular libraries.
- Typical tools: Snyk, OWASP Dependency-Check, other SCA scanners.
Container image scanning
- What it does: analyze built images layer-by-layer, enumerate OS packages, and find CVEs in system libraries.
- Best practices:
  - Use minimal base images (Alpine, Distroless) to reduce attack surface.
  - Schedule nightly scans of images in the registry (new CVEs appear constantly).
- Typical tools: Trivy, Clair, Aqua.
IaC scanning — check infrastructure-as-code before deploy
- What it does: scan Terraform/Helm/CloudFormation manifests for insecure configurations (public S3 buckets, open ports, run-as-root, etc.).
- Typical tools/practices: Checkov, tfsec, other IaC scanners that compare manifests to policy databases.
Kubernetes admission controls / policy-as-code
- What it does: enforce policies at the kube-apiserver level (block bad manifests at apply time). Prevent manual/bypassing changes, disallow root, restrict image registries, etc.
- Typical tools: OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno.
- Benefit: final “face control” before resources are created in the cluster.
Runtime security / detection & response
- What it does: monitor live containers/processes for anomalous behavior (syscalls, process launches, file accesses) and alert or actively remediate.
- Typical tool: Falco (can be paired with automation like Falco Sidekick to kill/isolate pods or collect forensic data).
- Value: detects zero-day compromises and insider mistakes quickly (minutes, not months).
DAST — Dynamic Application Security Testing (black-box testing)
- What it does: run automated scanners/robo-hackers against a running staging app (SQL injection, XSS, brute-force, hidden files) to find issues visible from outside.
- Placement: usually after deployment to staging; failing DAST should block release.
- Typical tools: common web DAST scanners (commercial and OSS options).

Overall architecture / flow (recap)

Githooks (secret prevention) → SAST (code) → SCA (dependencies) → build & image scan → IaC scan → admission controllers (policy-as-code) → runtime monitoring → DAST on staging.

Combined, this forms a multi-layered defense: prevent, detect, enforce, and respond.

Operational & cultural points

Security must be everyone’s responsibility: developers (code), DevOps (infrastructure), security engineers (policies and tooling).
Pipeline automation gives fast feedback; a failed build due to a vulnerability is a positive indicator.
Continuous scanning and scheduled checks (for example nightly image scans) are essential because new vulnerabilities appear daily.
