Fabric DevOps Security
General Perspective
DevOps Information security, as we know it, is struggling considerably to keep up with today's fast-paced DevOps world. DevOps security refers to the discipline and practice of safeguarding an entire DevOps environment through the implementation of strategies, policies, processes, and technology. DevOps has seen a decade of growth and success in many software organizations. DevOps security enables the development and delivery pipeline to move faster, enhancing overall throughput to the system in a safe manner.
Security in DevOps should be built into every part of its lifecycle. Instead of functioning as a blocker to innovation or being an outsider, security must be integrated into software delivery efforts throughout the entire process, rather than just at the very end.
K2View has adopted the DevOps mindset and implemented security throughout the DevOps pipeline, from the initial project design to deployment.
Fabric DevOps Targets
Fabric includes the following servers:
- Fabric
- Kafka
- Cassandra
Each server can be configured as a single node. However, to ensure high availability and for resiliency purposes, it is better to configure each server in a cluster mode. To achieve and maintain compliance with numerous international regulations and standards and to mitigate cybersecurity risks, we strongly recommend implementing the following security hardening best practices.
Fabric requires these to be in place for the systems to operate optimally and to function together.
For clarity, we assume that each Operating System on which these server instances are installed is hardened according to the most up-to-date standards and policies.
The following steps outline the process of fabric hardening on each server, including the associated functionalities.
Note that this section only addresses DevOps security hardening. For information about Fabric security from an architectural perspective, click here.
