DevSecOps as a Service
We aid in fostering a mindset prioritizing security within teams.
Importance of
DevSecOps
While paradoxical, security stands as both a crucial necessity for everyone and often an inadequately executed facet within every company's framework.
It demands profound technical expertise, comprehension of processes and company requisites, and current awareness of security advancements, tools, and risks.
At Tirzok, we've consolidated all these requisites and showcased our proficiency through diverse certifications such as SOC2, ISO, FedRAMP, and more.
DevSecOps

It's a common practice for startups to delay focusing on security until they're more established and financially stable. That decision often makes sense, given the expenses involved and the potential slowdown in the development process due to compliance with numerous standards.
However, Tirzok strongly advocates for prioritizing security right from the beginning. Their reasoning is that overlooking security early on can lead to even greater challenges and costs later. Take, for instance, controlling outgoing connections—it's far simpler to start by blocking all connections and then gradually permitting them as needed. Waiting to implement this could result in the development team scrambling to gather URLs, forgetting some, and facing disruptions in 3rd-party integrations, a lesson drawn from real project experiences.
Absolutely. While some NIST requirements regarding processes might seem stringent, the technical standards were authored by seasoned professionals. We highly recommend adhering to them, whether preparing for an audit or simply aiming to implement top-notch security practices.
SIEM, which stands for Security Information and Event Management, typically encompasses a monitoring, reporting, and alerting system for various security events. These can include authentication, authorization, configuration, secrets management, IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention), and IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
Across various security audits, a consistent set of common requirements emerges:
1. Least privilege principle
2. Visibility and reporting
3. Continuous patching and updates
4. Ubiquitous encryption
5. Static and dynamic prevention mechanisms
6. Adherence to defined processes
It necessitates a dedicated individual or team, contingent on the dev team and company size, responsible for overseeing processes, technical implementation, or articulating the technical problem statement.
Based on the 4 key points of security audits, here are recommended services to leverage:
1. Least privilege principle - IAM, Access advisor, CloudTrail, Macie
2. Visibility and reporting - CloudWatch, Security Hub, Inspector, Artifact
3. Continuous patching and updates - Inspector, SSM Compliance and Patch manager
4. Ubiquitous encryption - KMS, Certificate Manager, Signer
5. Static and dynamic prevention mechanisms - Firewall, WAF, Shield, Guard Duty
6. Processes - Audit manager, Config
Kubernetes boasts a vast community with an extensive array of security services. We suggest exploring these via CNCF Landscape. However, Alpacked specifically highlights Istio, OPA, Notary, Kube-bench, and Falco as key ones to focus on.
Absolutely, CNCF and major contributors to Kubernetes often stem from large enterprises. Their investments in open-source technologies aim to enhance stability and maturity, tailoring these products for widespread applicability.
However, unlike enterprise software, open-source solutions often necessitate a team of professionals for proper configuration and integration with other services due to their varied nature, as they usually aren't part of a unified family of solutions.
