The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, with threat actors continually advancing their capabilities. If your organization is unable to respond to threats in real-time, you risk becoming vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (APTs) waiting to exploit any weaknesses. The growing complexity of Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) means that organizations heavily rely on vendors. Effectively addressing third-party risk management becomes crucial within your organization, alongside managing the risks associated with products and services that add value for your customers. Furthermore, with the rise of A.I., the cybersecurity landscape is undergoing continuous changes, making threats more intricate. This complexity provides cybercriminals with an added advantage in compromising your products, exfiltrating your customers’ data, and potentially holding your company ransom.

Prioritizing the shift towards secure software development is essential so that your organization can respond promptly to threats. To enhance cyber resilience, adopting a DevSecOps strategy is key. This involves aligning teams throughout the product development process to ensure that risk management is integrated across the entire supply chain.

Key Features of our DevSecOps Consulting Engagement:

Ramsec possesses the skills, capabilities, and experience to assist you in strengthening your DevSecOps initiatives. Our track record includes aiding organizations in developing DevSecOps strategies and guiding them from initial stages to achieving full DevSecOps maturity. Our consulting services are tailored to your organization’s priorities, providing customized solutions adapted to your environment. With expertise in building DevSecOps programs across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and air-gapped solutions, we are well-equipped to support your needs.

• Conducting an analysis of your organization’s DevOps practices, emphasizing the identification of security threats and risk exposure.
• Offering recommendations for establishing a proactive DevSecOps program and collaborating with your team to seamlessly integrate security into your DevOps pipelines.
• Providing guidance on architecture, configuration, and operational procedures, aiming to foster collaboration between security teams, developers, and operations. Special emphasis on shifting security to the left in the development lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience in implementation and facilitating immediate value addition through incremental improvements prioritized by impact.

The value we add:

While numerous DevSecOps tools and market-ready solutions, including fully integrated platforms, are available, acquiring tools without a thorough plan and integration into your technical organization’s workflow is akin to applying a bandaid to an infected wound. We ensure that your efforts are optimally directed and well-managed post-engagement. Our objective is to equip you with the expertise required to sustain a mature platform security, ensuring your product is consistently protected when it matters most.

The outcomes you can expect:

• Comprehensive gap analysis of your organization’s DevSecOps processes and procedures, emphasizing risk, cost, and benefits. - - Develop detailed implementation plans and provide recommendations, focusing on areas that can have the most significant impact on improvement.
• Hands-on implementation and consultation for building, configuring, and managing security controls within your systems.
• Improved maturity of your DevSecOps practices by collaborating with your team to deliver training and implementing a continuous and agile DevSecOps methodology.

What are the benefits?

• Effective Vulnerability Management: Vulnerabilities are identified, triaged, and remediated, through an effective and well-defined process. Since security controls for code repositories, dependecies, and infrastrucute are all managed through a clear-cut GitOps process, better transparency and visability is more mature and vulnerabilities can be prioritized. With the addition of well-defined gates in your CI/CD pipeline, security policies can prevent code from shipping to production until vulnerabilities or compliance check fail.
• Reduction in Mean Time to Remediate: Incorporating cybersecurity controls into your CI/CD pipeline promotes automation throughout every stage. Well-engineered pipelines can automate the testing, validation, deployment, and control of vulnerabilities when security issues arise, thereby significantly reducing the mean time to remediate fixes in production.
• Integrated Security Workforce: Security and compliance teams have traditionally operated in silos, separate from the rest of the organization. By bringing together product, operations, security, and development, a more collaborative approach emerges, providing enhanced insights. This collaboration ensures that the secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) continually evolves alongside the introduction of new features, functionalities, maintenance, and improvements to your technical stack.
