Securing Your DevOps Pipeline with Rampart™
How Incorporating Rampart into DevOps Processes Enhances Security
The demo video below showcases the following benefits of using Rampart™ in your DevOps pipeline to protect against supply chain vulnerabilities:
- Reducing the Attack Surface: Incorporating Rampart into DevOps processes helps protect against supply chain vulnerabilities by minimizing the attack surface.
- Minimizing Applications: Rampart removes unused artifacts, executables, and static assets from applications, making the software image smaller and harder to exploit.
- Preventing Exploits: A demonstration showed that when attempting to exploit a minimized application, critical commands were unavailable, causing the attack to fail.
- Hampering Attackers: The lack of available commands for attackers hampers their ability to move laterally, escalate privileges, or subvert the system, thereby enhancing security.
- Advanced Capabilities: Rampart also offers advanced capabilities, such as blocking specific system calls, to provide more granular security measures for endpoints.
Protecting your DevOps pipeline from supply chain vulnerabilities is crucial. Rampart™ offers an effective solution by minimizing the attack surface and enhancing security. Here’s how Rampart can help:
Simplifying and Securing Your Applications
Rampart reduces the size of your application by removing unused components like artifacts, executables, and static assets. This not only makes your application smaller and more efficient but also harder for attackers to exploit.
Real-World Example
Imagine you have an application with a vulnerability. With Rampart, you deploy a minimized version, stripping away everything not needed at runtime. When an attacker tries to exploit the system, they find that critical commands and executables are missing. As a result, their exploit fails because they can't execute necessary commands.
Enhanced Protection
By removing unnecessary executables, Rampart limits what an attacker can do if they gain access. This makes it much harder for them to move within the system or escalate their privileges. Rampart also offers advanced features like blocking specific system calls, adding an extra layer of defense.
Incorporating Rampart into your DevOps pipeline ensures that your software is better protected against vulnerabilities, keeping your systems safe and secure.
