In an era of escalating cyber threats and regulatory scrutiny, organizations are under pressure to deliver secure software while adhering to compliance frameworks like SOC 2. DevSecOps, which integrates security into DevOps practices, offers a pathway to align agility with accountability.
However, bridging the gap between SOC 2’s rigorous controls and the rapid pace of CI/CD pipelines requires a strategic approach. This article explores how to embed SOC 2 compliance into every software development lifecycle (SDLC) phase, ensuring security and compliance are foundational rather than afterthoughts.
The digital battleground of the 21st century is no longer confined to physical borders or conventional warfare. Nation-states increasingly weaponize cyberspace to disrupt economies, steal intellectual property, and destabilize adversaries. The U.S. Department of Defense has prioritized fortifying its Defense Industrial Base through the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework in this high-stakes environment.
This article explores how evolving nation-state tactics, from AI-driven attacks to supply chain compromises, catalyze enhancements in CMMC controls and redefine cybersecurity preparedness for defense contractors.
