Operational resiliency is a topic of rising importance in the security community. Unplanned events, much like the one we are facing today, are reminders of how organizations can be prepared to respond to a cyberattack. Ian Coldwater and I explored a variety of options in my episode of Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson.
Ian Coldwater is a Kubernetes containers and cloud infrastructure specialist with a background in penetration testing and DevOps. In their role as a consultant, Ian has helped companies bridge the gaps between security and DevOps. It was a real pleasure to discuss what Ian has learned in these roles, and I think you’ll find our discussion valuable.
During our conversation, Ian and I talked about threat modeling and how to best protect your crown jewels. We also explored what it means to bring security into DevOps. Hint: it’s about more than just new tooling. And, we demystified Kubernetes. Do you wonder which projects are a good fit for Kubernetes, and which are not? Are you concerned about how to keep Kubernetes containers secure? Take a listen to Building operational resiliency in a digital work on Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson for actionable advice that you can apply to your own SecDevOps organization.
