Security Assurance in DevOps Methodologies and Related Environments

Abstract

The biggest software development companies conduct daily more than hundreds deployments which influence currently operating IT (Information Technology) systems. This is possible due to the availability of automatic mechanisms which are providing their functional testing and later applications deployment. Unfortunately, nowadays, there are no tools or even a set of good practices related to the problem on how to include IT security issues into the whole production and deployment processes. This paper describes how to deal with this problem in the large mobile telecommunication operator environment.
