Introduction
Software security is about protecting information and ensuring that systems continue to function correctly even when under malicious attack. The traditional approach of securing a system has been to create defensive walls such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls around it, but there are always cracks in these walls, and thus such measures are no longer sufficient by themselves. We need to be able to build better, more robust and more "inherently secure" systems, and we should strive to achieve these qualities in all software systems, not just in the ones that "obviously" need special protection.
Objective
This special issue will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned for engineering secure and dependable software using the DevOps paradigm, as well as other forms of agile development.
Recommended Topics
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Security in DevOps
- Security aspects of software deployment
- Security in Continuous Deployment
- Security Architecture in Agile Development
- Security testing in DevOps
- Container security for DevOps
- Security automation tools
- Secure implementation in agile software development
- Agile security requirements
- Risk management in agile software projects
- Agile testing for security
