The vulnerability that led to the SolarWinds data breach wasn’t caused by weak security tools. It was a failure to implement every step on the list of code signing best practices. How could the SolarWinds attack have been prevented?
To be agile and deliver on time, developers sometimes shortcut any step that delays the CI/CD build and release. Which is why security practices in DevOps have been weak or nonexistent. Total control over security used to be slow, so developers had to find workarounds. But these shortcuts put your software at risk for compromise.
