Amazon CodeCatalyst is a unified service that streamlines the entire software development lifecycle, empowering teams to build, deliver, and scale applications on AWS. DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into all stages of software development. Rather than prioritizing features, it injects security into an earlier phase of the development process – baking it into […]

A Case Study Presented by CodeWhisperer Customizations Amazon CodeWhisperer is an AI-powered coding assistant that is trained on a wide variety of data, including Amazon and open-source code. With the launch of CodeWhisperer Customizations, customers can create a customization resource. The customization is produced by augmenting CodeWhisperer using a customer’s private code repositories. This enables […]

Today, accelerating application development while shifting security and assurance left in the development lifecycle is essential. One of the most critical components of application security is access control. While traditional access control mechanisms such as role-based access control (RBAC) and access control lists (ACLs) are still prevalent, policy-based access control (PBAC) is gaining momentum. PBAC […]

DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security testing at every stage of the software development process. Amazon CodeCatalyst includes tools that encourage collaboration between developers, security specialists, and operations teams to build software that is both efficient and secure. DevSecOps brings cultural transformation that makes security a shared responsibility for everyone who is building the […]

Many organizations have adopted DevOps practices to streamline and automate software delivery and IT operations. A DevOps model can be adopted without sacrificing security by using automated compliance policies, fine-grained controls, and configuration management techniques. However, one of the key challenges customers face is analyzing code and detecting any vulnerabilities in the code pipeline due […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) accelerates cloud development by allowing developers to use common programming languages when modelling their applications. To take advantage of this speed, developers need to operate in an environment where permissions and security controls don’t slow things down, and in a tightly controlled environment this is not always the case. […]

DevSecOps software factory implementation can significantly vary depending on the application, infrastructure, architecture, and the services and tools used. In a previous post, I provided an end-to-end DevSecOps pipeline for a three-tier web application deployed with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The pipeline used cloud-native services along with a few open-source security tools. This solution is similar, […]
