DevSecOps Platform Consulting
Embrace Security and Compliance in Your Development Lifecycle
In the evolving landscape of software development, security can no longer be an afterthought. It must be intertwined at every stage of the development cycle. At CloudCops, we champion the integration of security into DevOps, giving rise to the DevSecOps paradigm. With our expertise in leading platforms like GitLab and GitHub, and adherence to recognized guidelines such as NIST IR 8176, we ensure your development process is both agile and fortified against threats.

Why DevSecOps?
Achieving Security at the Speed of Development
Traditional security practices often struggle to keep pace with the rapid cycles of modern development. DevSecOps addresses this gap by embedding security from the get-go, making it an inherent part of the development process.
Determine RequirementsComprehensive Security Scans
With the rise of DevSecOps, advanced scanning methods have become commonplace. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) reviews the codebase for vulnerabilities, while Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) evaluates running applications from an outsider's perspective. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) combines the best of both, analyzing code in real-time during its execution. Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), on the other hand, protects the application from within by identifying and blocking threats in real-time. Leveraging these methodologies, DevSecOps ensures thorough and continuous security checks throughout the development lifecycle.
Principle of Least Privilege (POLP)
DevSecOps emphasizes the implementation of POLP, ensuring that every module (such as a process, a user, or a program) interacts only with the data and resources necessary for its purpose. This minimizes potential avenues of exploitation, making systems more robust against breaches.
Runtime Verification
Monitoring application and system behavior during runtime is pivotal. Tools like Falco provide runtime security detection, ensuring that anomalies are identified and addressed promptly. By integrating such tools, DevSecOps offers another layer of security, safeguarding applications during their operation.
Chaos Engineering for Resilience
At its core, DevSecOps is about creating resilient systems. By adopting Chaos Engineering methodologies with tools like Chaos Mesh, it introduces controlled failures into the system to ensure that it can withstand unpredictable disruptions. This proactive approach prepares systems for unforeseen events, ensuring continuity and reliability.
Compliance and Policy Automation
In the constantly shifting landscape of security and compliance, automation becomes crucial. Tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA) offer a unified toolset and framework for policy definition and enforcement you are in line with security best practices. Kyverno, another notable tool, offers Kubernetes-native policy management, ensuring your Kubernetes configurations are compliant with organizational standards.
Integrated Security Tools and Continuous Feedback
Platforms like GitLab and GitHub seamlessly integrate security into their ecosystems. GitHub's Dependabot, for instance, offers automated security updates, while GitLab’s continuous security ensures vulnerability management is an ongoing process. With DevSecOps, developers get immediate feedback, accelerating both development and mitigation processes.
Compliance with Standards
Adhering to container security guidelines like NIST IR 8176, and implementing best practices like POLP, DevSecOps ensures applications are both secure and compliant with globally recognized standards.
Embracing DevSecOps means investing in a proactive security approach, which reduces risks, accelerates development, and ensures compliance with global standards.

Testimonials
Nils Haberland Group CIO, Managing director
Salih has been a key player in the engineering and implementation of our DevOps setup from its initial stages. His expertise in Infrastructure as Code and integration of Open Source Tools have been fundamental to constructing our cloud infrastructure and roll out methods. We have greatly changed our view on devops, increased control of changes on infrastructure and improved collaboration. His commitment to a GitOps and Cloud-Native mindset aligns with our corporate objectives, reinforcing our strategic direction. Additionally, he has been proactive in sharing his knowledge, greatly benefiting our team's development and cohesion.
Rolf Wendolsky CEO
Salih is a very efficient and versatile developer. He set up a new Kubernetes system in AWS for us. He also developed and deployed an application to automatically update the invoice and cost preview for us and our customers. Furthermore, he has been working very successfully for one of our customers for about a year now, especially for DevOps engineering activities.
Dilan Barzingi CEO
With Mr. Kayiplar, we have had a terrific colleague and partner working with our customer. His performance is and remains very professional. We want to maintain a long-term partnership and can recommend Mr. Kayiplar to other service providers and colleagues. We are very grateful for the great collaboration and look forward to further projects with Mr. Kayiplar.
Uwe Segschneider Manager
I have the pleasure of working closely with Salih on our Kubernetes infrastructure. Salih is one of the most talented DevOps engineer I have ever worked with. Salih combines technical expertise with an incredible passion for continuous integration, automation, and cloud infrastructure, and is grounded in the necessary GitOps mindset.
