Automated Protection and Prevention to Meet Security Requirements in DevOps Environments

VeriDevOps is about fast, flexible system engineering that efficiently integrates development, delivery, and operations, thus aiming at quality deliveries with short cycle time to address ever-evolving challenges. Current system development practices are increasingly based on using both off-the-shelf and legacy components which make such systems prone to security vulnerabilities. Since DevOps is promoting frequent software deliveries, verification methods artefacts should be updated in a timely fashion to cope with the pace of the process.

The European project is managed by partners in four countries. Run by Mälardalens Högskola in Sweden and led too by project partners like Åbo Akademi University in Finland, ABB AB, Ikerlan S. Coop. and Fagor Arrasate S. Coop. in Spain and finally, Montimage EURL, and Softeam in France.

DevOps helps increase an organisation’s ability to deliver secure applications and services at high velocity. It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery of high-quality software. Current systems development practices are increasingly based on off-the-shelf and legacy components, which make such systems prone to security vulnerabilities. Since DevOps is promoting frequent software deliveries, verification artefacts should be updated in a timely fashion to cope with the pace of the process.

VeriDevOps aims at providing a faster feedback loop for verifying the security requirements
