Hello, this is Vamsi. let me do, let me introduce myself. so I have like overall 16 years of experience in, cloud and platform engineering, with special, with, specialization in infrastructure automation and digital transformation. today I'm going to, give, introduction, like session on, mostly Like today's the world is changing, evolving with, completely into the multi cloud environments. Like we are not locked. With one cloud provider. So like we are currently like, going with the multiple cloud providers, AWS like a, Azure and GCP and whatnot, so it is very, challenging and like implementing, security, across a multiple cloud platforms actually for our hosting. Or application infrastructure. So today I'm going to most deep dive into the DevSecOps strategies for enhanced security and compliance in this, multi cloud era. so the shift to multi cloud is accelerating. So with, with organizational leveraging diverse cloud platform, cloud providers for agility and scalability and redundancy, but securing this complex ecosystem is critical. So this presentation explores how to integrate security seamlessly into DevOps workflows, enabling organizations to thrive in the multi cloud era. So let's deep dive into it. so we, let's discuss about the importance of DevSecOps. so we are at the two, two pillars here. Like one is a shiftlet security and then other one is a continuous integration and, integration and delivery. so what is shift left security? DevSecOps fundamentally. transform security by integrating it from the earlier stages of development. By embedding security practices through the software development lifecycle, teams can identify and remediate vulnerabilities earlier, reduce costs, and build security first applications. This proactive approach creates a collaborative and, collaborative culture where security becomes everybody's responsibility. It's let's discuss about shift lifecycle. Earlier, back in the days, back in the days, we used to have a SDLC lifecycle and when we used to have a, like a, let's go to the, like a, if you have a code, like a code developer and then push to the higher environments. We'll come to. do the testing of, application and even the security testing we will be doing at the stage of, before we even go to the production. at that point of time, it's becoming it will become, hard for any, it will be, let's say, for example, if some, something happens, let's say, for example, if we identify vulnerabilities at the stage of hey, we have a release in next week or so, let's say, for example, We will have hardly one week to fix the security issues, which will be difficult to do that. in that case, we should have a mechanism of identifying the security vulnerabilities in the early stages of SDLC. So the shift left security approach, which we, most of the organizations right now adopting so that they can, so that they can, do the continuous, testing while they're developing. so while they're developing, that's about shift left security. So another thing is like a CACD, you might have, we are very much familiar with CACD, since a decade. It's a, it's more of automated security, like what CACD, so how, how can we integrate this automated security and validations in CACD. So here is the thing, automated security testing and validation with the CACD pipelines is like revolution, deployment safety by incorporating security scans and compliance, checks and vulnerability assessments directly into the automated pipeline. Organizations can, confidently deploy code faster while, robust security standards. This systematic approach ensures consistent security, practices across all the deployments. so it's more of so we like implementing, security, scans and vulnerability checks, like by introducing them into the CI CD pipeline so that let's say, for example, before deploying to any code into the environment. So let's see. do the security scans and compliance checks and vulnerability assessments before even deploying in, into the environment. So it's a stage actually. so it's like we, we were like implementing, introducing, sec, security steps, security scan steps, before deploying to the core, to the any environment. so it's more of integrating, so we need to integrate with the CSCD pipelines. And, next thing is. So the key, so let's discuss about key principles of DevSecOps for multi cloud. So that the three things actually. so we need to discuss, we need to deep dive into the key principles of DevSecOps for multi cloud. so we need to discuss about three things. One is like a policy as a code and, automated, secure testing. And the third one is continuous monitoring threat detection. So when it comes to policy as code, what is policy as code? so the policy as a code is, means so what it does is it transforms security requirements into executable code, enabling automated policy enforcements and compliance checks across multiple clouds, such as AWS, Azure and Google cloud and other platforms. This approach eliminates manual errors and ensures consistent security standards. And, and then, so when, then coming to the automated, security testing, so what it does it's, it, what it does is by introducing automated security testing, so it, what it does is embedded, it will, it will provide comprehensive security scans into your deployment pipeline, including SAS, DAST, and, container security checks. This project to approach catches one of vulnerabilities before they reach production and it will reduce the risk and, and, reduce the, total operational costs actually. and another thing is when it comes to continuous monitoring and threat detection. so by, by, by leveraging, AI powered security tools, that provides a real time visibility across a multi cloud infrastructure. So what it, with incorporating AI powered security tools, this will automatically, correlate security events and detects anomal anomalities and enable rapid incident, response and maintain, and maintain robust security, posture. And, so what are the benefits of DevSecOps in multi-cloud? so it's mainly provides to two key, key benefits. One is reduced compliance violations and other one is a faster time to market, let's say. co compliance, reducing compliance violence is so the, by implementing these DevSecOps in the multi-cloud environments, Seeing 40 percent reduction in compliance violation through automated, security checks and, standardized, control across the platform, which is, Great thing. And, other thing is a faster to market, by automating security, processes and shift left, by, by integrating, by, let's say, let's, having a, having the strategy of implementing automation, automated securities testing and, shift left approach. so shift left approach and DevOps, DevSecOps, principle, principles. so by, by co correlating like, by coordinating, by implementing and coordinating, automation testing and shift lift approach, and DevSecOps so we can accelerate, development cycles by 25% at least, while strengthening the security through, continuous testing and early vulnerability detection. And so the next slide, are we gonna discuss about addressing multicloud challenges. So we definitely in this growing, fast phase, everybody or, every company, every, it organization, any application infrastructure is scattered across multiple, Cloud platform. so what are the challenges having a multiple cloud platforms? so one thing first, like we have three, three, three standards, like three challenges. So one is like a vendor lock in and the second one is a cross platform, discrepancies. And the third one is a global compliance standards. so let's discuss about like vendor lock in. so when, so we will be deploying, so to, to address these challenges, like what we have to do is to address this vendor lock in, challenges. So here, we need to deploy platform independent architectures and, standardized APIs to maintain operational freedom across cloud platforms while reducing dependencies on proprietary services. And the second thing is cross, cross platform discrepancies. So when it comes to this area, so we need to establish a unified security frameworks and automated compliance checks to maintain, consistent security controls and risk management across diverse cloud environments. And then, third one is, global compliance standards. so the, what we need to do, we need to implement a comprehensive data governance frameworks that automatically enforce regulatory requirements like A-G-D-P-R and HIPAA while, enabling real time, compliance monitoring across, cloud platforms. So, let's come to the real world examples of DevSecOps in multi-cloud. So we have a two case studies. So one case study is like a in a fortune 500 retail and the second one is a global, banking corporation So a global retail leader with 20 billion annual revenue transformed their security landscape through DevSecOps adoption by implementing, automated security scanning and Compliance checks across AWS and Azure environments. They achieved 35 percent reduction in compliance Violations cut, security incident response, time from, days to hours and accelerated deployment frequency by days. 3x and so and coming to other global banking corporation like A major financial services firm like processing over 1 million transactions daily revolutionized their security approach by integrating automated vulnerability scanning into their CICD pipeline this resulted, in detecting 40 40 percent more security issues during development and reducing production Instance by 60 percent and, decreasing time to market a new feature by 21st percent while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. so these are the best, recent, case studies, best, which will give a real time DevSecOps, benefits in multi cloud environments. And the key, and let's come to the key takeaways, for, with the DevSecOps for secure and compliant multi cloud. so one, like I can say three, takeaways, takeaways. So one is enhance a culture of security, so what it does mean? so with this, we will be transforming organizational mindset by integrating security practices into daily workflows and making cybersecurity a core value across all development and operation teams. And the second thing is automated security testing. So by implementing comprehensive automated security scanning and testing throughout CACD pipelines to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before each production, before they reach even production environments. And the third thing is a continuous monitoring. So here, we'll be, so we'll be deploying advanced, threat detection systems and real time security, analytics to maintain, resilient oversight of your multi cloud infrastructure and respond rapidly to potential security, incidents. And so let's discuss so far we discussed, all high level, how, and what and how to implement, these principles and, and methodology. but here in this slide, we are going to discuss, that, tools and technologies for, DevSecOps in multi cloud environment. so three things we need to discuss. So one is for cloud security posture, one is like cloud security, posture management, so which will CSPM will continuously monitor and assess cloud, security risks through automated security assessments and compliance monitoring and, real time mis confi, misconfiguration detection across the AWS Azure and GCP environments. And the second thing is like a cloud security information and event management. so what SIA, will, this will, leverage, AI powered analytics to correlate, security data across cloud platforms, enabling, rapid threat detection, automated incident response and a comprehensive security. audit trails for compliance reporting. And the third one is which is critical is a container security. So today the world we are moving from, monolithic to microservice architecture. container, using containers is like becoming and. Part of a daily, daily operation and development life. So in this case, we'll be implementing, automated, like we need to implement like, implement automated vulnerability scanning and runtime protection and policy informants for Docker and Kubernetes workflows, ensuring security container deployments from, development through production across all, environments. And, the next slide like we'll be discussing here is, the future of multi cloud security and what are the emerging trends like, here is, three things actually like for, these are the, these three, items are like more of emerging and, we need to implement in a, in upcoming future. one is like a serverless security and the second one is, artificial, intelligence for security and third one is zero trust security. So when it comes to serverless security, um, advanced runtime protection and the functional level monitoring for serverless, architecture to secure, so we, so we need to implement advanced, runtime protection and, functional level monitoring for serverless architecture to secure. Cloud native applications and prevent unauthorized executions. And the second thing is the next generation security, powered by AI algorithm, like we need to, develop next generation security powered by AI algorithm that can continuously learn from threats, predict potential attacks, and automatically orchestrate responses across multi cloud environments. And the third thing is like zero trust security. it's contest aware security framework like, that verifies every access request, regardless of source and, enforcing strict identity verification, and, least privileged access, access across all cloud services. So these are the three things like emerging trends, which, which we need to, aware and look forward. And what are the actionable steps for implementing DevSecOps in your multi cloud environment? So there's the four, four action items. Like one is what first most thing what you need to do is access current security poster like, for that, you need to conduct a thorough, security audit across all cloud platforms, identifying gaps in infrastructure, applications, and, processes while mapping potential attack, vectors and, compliance requirements. And the second one is, develop security policies and standards. Need to create a comprehensive security frameworks aligned with industry best practices establishing clear guidelines for access controls data protection and Incident response across your multi cloud ecosystem. And the third one is integrate security tools and automation So here we need to do is what we need to do is deploy and configure automated security scanning and vulnerability assessment and compliance checking tools within your CICD pipeline, ensuring seamless integration with the existing development workflows. And the fourth one, what we need, and the next step is establish continuous monitoring and response. Here we need to implement real time security monitoring with automated alerts. Detailed logging and rapid response procedures, enabling, proactive threat detection and swift remediation across all cloud environments. And, securiting, securing the multicloud, error is a, it's not a journey. It's a, it's a journey. It's not a destination. securing the multicloud environment is not just a technical challenge. It's it's a transformational journey, that detects continuous evaluation and a commitment. through this strategic implementation of DevSecOps principle, organizations can build resilient, security frameworks that adopt, adopt, emerging threats while maintaining comp maintaining compliance across, diverse cloud platforms. The proactive approach not only protects virtual assets but also Enables innovation, accelerate, accelerates our deployment cycles and, create a competitive advantage in today's dynamic digital landscape. thank you all for, attending this, session and I hope you enjoyed, my presentation today.
