Announcement
The NCCoE has released this draft Project Description, which begins a process to solicit public comments for the project requirements, scope, and hardware and software components for use in a laboratory environment.
The project will focus initially on developing and documenting an applied risk-based approach and recommendations for secure DevOps and software supply chain practices consistent with the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), and other NIST, government, and industry guidance. This project will apply these practices in proof-of-concept use case scenarios that are each specific to a technology, programming language, and industry sector. Both commercial and open source technology will be used to demonstrate the use cases. This project will result in a freely available NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide.
Review the project description and submit comments online on or before August 22, 2022. You can also help shape and contribute to this project by joining the NCCoE’s DevSecOps Community of Interest. Send an email to devsecops-nist@nist.gov detailing your interest.
We value and welcome your input and look forward to your comments.
DevOps brings together software development and operations to shorten development cycles, allow organizations to be agile, and maintain the pace of innovation while taking advantage of cloud-native technology and practices. Industry and government have fully embraced and are rapidly implementing these practices to develop and deploy software in operational environments, often without a full understanding and consideration of security. Also, most software today relies on one or more third-party components, yet organizations often have little or no visibility into and understanding of how these components are developed, integrated, and deployed, as well as the practices used to ensure the components’ security. To help improve the security of DevOps practices, the NCCoE is planning a DevSecOps project that will focus initially on developing and documenting an applied risk-based approach and recommendations for secure DevOps and software supply chain practices consistent with the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), and other NIST, government, and industry guidance. This project will apply these DevSecOps practices in proof-of-concept use case scenarios that will each be specific to a technology, programming language, and industry sector.
