The Internet And Dev-Ops

 

DevOps at our organization Acme Inc. is a nightmare. Using the example of “Hell Month” on Page 24 of The Practice of System and Network Administration, describe how the solution could be used to improve cybersecurity in an internet-connected world.

Instructions
Write a one-page or two-page double spaced paper describing how improved dev-ops can improve cybersecurity. Be sure to call out examples from recent months where things have failed or succeeded using good or bad dev-ops. (Example: Microsoft’s and Apple’s recent upgrades that caused major user issues.)
