Security That Enables: Breaking Down Security Silos in the DevOps Ecosystem
summary
Explains that attackers increasingly target developer tooling and container registries, citing a CircleCI impersonation that leads to credential theft and the cloning of 130 GitHub repositories from Dropbox; shows that silos (developer laptops, repo scans, registry scans, runtime telemetry) block correlation and let attackers move laterally. Recommends concrete controls: rotate passwords, enforce MFA, run repository and image scanning (GitHub, JFrog, ECR), and adopt zero‑trust access with machine scoring to reduce exposed keys and speed secure releases.
