Secure and Compliant Pipeline addresses the risk and challenges of building and deploying software in a CI/CD pipeline. Shift Left and Automate is about bringing security testing and controls into the development process instead of just scanning code and deployed application late in the development or even release cycle.

Two of these principles are Shift Left and Automate and Secure and Compliant Pipeline. Secure DevOps practices include and build on those practices that are part of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).ĭuring our Secure DevOps Workshop, which we offer in Developer Support, we talk about the key principles for Secure DevOps. We believe that Secure DevOps (or DevSecOps, whichever name works for you) encompasses both a set of practices and a mindset shift to help customer adopt security principles and practices aligned with the culture shift and integrated with the practices, of DevOps. We have found application security practices and tools integration to be critical for customers to successfully and continuously release a modern, cloud ready application.

Back in May, we talked about Microsoft Security Risk Detection, and now in this post, we want to introduce you to a tool, really a toolset, released this summer, that you can use to integrate security controls into your development process: Microsoft Security Code Analysis. In Microsoft Developer Support, as we help customers modernize their development practices, one of the areas that we focus on is how to adopt application security practices to reduce security risk while minimizing impact to agility. Please refer to GitHub Advanced Security and OWASP Source Code Analysis Tools for alternative options. Over the next year, there will be no additional upgrades or planned enhancements for the MSCA extension however, the extension will continue to be supported until Maand existing customers will continue to benefit from its capabilities. As the team continues their prioritization effort and allocate more resources to support some of Microsoft’s key bets in the security space, unfortunately effective March 1, 2022, the MSCA extension will be retired.

The MSCA team is committed to bringing Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) practices to our customers and is constantly prioritizing its development efforts to ensure the delivery of great tools, value, and user experience. March 2021 Update – MSCA will be retired March 1, 2022. In this post, Sr App Dev Managers Rob Smith and Syed Mehdi talks about Microsoft Security Code Analysis – a tool that seamlessly empowers customers to enable security controls in their CI/CD pipeline.
