Developer's Handbook to CIS Controls: Embed Safeguards to Protect Your Code, Optimize DevOps Workflows, and Ensure Continuous Compliance

Is your code pipeline a fortress-or a soft underbelly that attackers can exploit? Developer's Handbook to CIS Controls answerDeveloper's Handbook to CIS Controls: Embed Safeguards to Protect Your Code, Optimize DevOps Workflows, and Ensure Continuous Compliancs that question with a battle-tested playbook for integrating CIS Critical Security Controls directly into your DevOps workflows.

Transform theory into action
Forget abstract checklists and vague whitepapers. This book delivers clear, copy-and-paste recipes and hands-on labs that slot into GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure Pipelines. You'll lock down source control, automate SBOM generation, enforce static and dynamic scans, and even script self-healing rollbacks-ensuring every build, test, and deploy step enforces security as rigorously as your unit tests.

What you'll gain:

Practical hardening tactics for Git, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and more-no hypothetical code, only production-proven snippets.

Automated compliance checks with policy-as-code (Chef InSpec, OPA/Conftest) so CIS Controls become part of your CI/CD fabric.

End-to-end pipeline security: from commit signing (GPG, Sigstore) and secret-scanning hooks to SCA (OWASP Dependency-Check, Snyk) and SBOM enforcement.

Real-time observability & alerts using Prometheus, Grafana, Falco, and osquery-spot anomalies and contain incidents before they escalate.

Resilient deployment patterns (blue-green, canary, feature flags) and automated rollback mechanisms to protect production with zero downtime.

Continuous compliance dashboards that map CIS Implementation Groups to SDLC phases, giving you audit-ready evidence at every release.

Ready to embed security at the speed of DevOps? Equip your team with the same safeguards used by leading enterprises to outpace threats and satisfy auditors without sacrificing velocity.

Take the next step: Add Developer's Handbook to CIS Controls to your toolkit today and transform your pipelines into an unassailable security perimeter.
