Securing DevOps – A Digital-first Imperative for Success in APAC

Businesses are now more digital than ever before, with digital products and services accounting for a larger portion of the revenue pie. But with increased digitalization comes higher cybersecurity risks, particularly due to the heightened threat of credential theft.

This IDC InfoBrief commissioned by RedHat and CyberArk looks at the importance of securing identities as businesses embrace a DevOps culture in APAC.

Achieving a strong DevOps culture requires adherence to a broad range of new processes and technologies. While the DevOps world is embracing the concept of DevSecOps, the reality is that unless the security elements are embedded and automated, these can be overlooked.

A full DevSecOps approach has many facets, and the starting point for a successful DevSecOps approach is around identity and access management controls—having the ability to isolate and secure the integrity of credentials that are used extensively across processes.

By automating and embedding these tools into the innovation cycle, in tandem with the platforms and tools preferred by the developer community, businesses can reduce their development and provisioning cycles.

Businesses with an identity-first security strategy are well positioned to offer a secure, rich and meaningful experience to customers, partners and employees alike, and by so doing accelerate their digital business success.
