KuboSecure™ 

Migrating workloads and developing new applications with a cloud native architecture changes the scope of security for DevSecOps teams. Cloud native security requires assessing and securing infrastructure, tooling, applications, network, cluster, containers, images and the code itself. In order to properly address all of these areas, teams should not be complacent. Pushing security considerations out to latter stages of a product/project can result in expensive refactoring to address gaps and create project delays. 

A better approach to security in cloud native applications is to ‘Shift Security Left’. This means that development teams should be considering and implementing security into their applications very early on in their development lifecycle. With the right tools, it empowers developers with actionable information, so that they can identify and fix issues early and often throughout the development of an application.

Even with a Shift Security Left approach, many vulnerabilities and issues cannot be identified until environments & networks have been spun-up, containers created and your application is deployed. This requires additional tools, processes and expertise in order to address.

Security in cloud native applications requires a multi-layered approach and the use of several tools, processes and expertise in order to reach a confidence level that what your team is launching will be free of any major vulnerabilities.

KuboSecure™ is a security module that can be deployed as an independent service in the project infrastructure. It can be used as a development utility for pre-push hooks, as an IDE extension, can be included as an SDK within KuboLib™ and KuboCode™ and can be triggered on-demand, as part of a CI pipeline.

KuboSecure™ leverages multiple security vulnerability approaches including SCA, SAST & DAST to improve the robustness of your cloud native application security. To provide as much flexibility and coverage as possible, KuboSecure™ is also able to integrate with leading enterprise security solutions for cloud native applications.
