Shift Left Security with GitHub and Azure Security

A single vulnerability in the code can set off a chain reaction that affects not only security, but also a company's operations, reputation and finances.

1. Late Security.

• Challenge: Every day a vulnerability goes undetected, the more money it costs to fix it.
• Impact: Long feature cycles. Delivery time. Productivity.

2. High Remediation Cost

• Challenge: Security testing at the end of the cycle.
• Impact: Increases the cost and time of vulnerability remediation.

3. Widespread Impact

• Challenge: A vulnerability does not just affect the code, it can spread to multiple areas of the business.
• Impact: Reputation, regulatory, legal and productivity scaling.

To create synergy with the existing team and provide a starting point, we adapt the methodology, tools automation and knowledge generation to integrate with current requirements whit Shift Left Application Security and Azure Security to streng then your digital products. In this way, security is seamlessly integrated into existing development models without causing delays or impacting on go-to-market timescales.

Your organization may monitor and obtain these services listed below:

SECURITY ASSESMENT AND DIAGNOSIS : Assess application security in the development lifecycle by auditing GitHub repositories for misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and access risks. Verify compliance with OWASP ASVS to ensure best practices.

IMPLEMENTATION OF GITHUB ADVANCE SECURITY: Configure CodeQL to detect vulnerabilities, enable Secret Scanning and Dependabot for credential and dependency risk management, and enforce security policies with branch protection rules.

INTEGRATION WITH AZURE FOR CLOUD SECURITY: Apply infrastructure hardening in Azure, integrate Microsoft Defender for DevOps for centralized security management, and implement secure CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps

AUTOMATED SECURITY TESTING WITH OWASP: Implement DAST with OWASP ZAP or other OpenSource tools for runtime vulnerability scanning, SAST with CodeQL for static analysis, and SCA with Dependabot to detect third-party dependency risks.

SECURITY TRAINING AND CULTURE DEVELOPMENT: Offer secure coding training based on OWASP best practices, hands-on GitHub Advanced Security workshops, and attack simulations to enhance security awareness and resilience.

MONITORING AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Enable security monitoring with GitHub Security Alerts and Azure Security Center, provide incident response management, and define security metrics to track improvements over time.
