Security partners
Modernize your life cycle and reduce risk with DevSecOps
A comprehensive DevSecOps solution
The rapid pace of digital transformation has led to hastily glued-together DevSecOps tools and processes instead of a single, cohesive, and efficient system.
Red Hat works closely with our security ecosystem partners to weave together the technologies you need to build a comprehensive DevSecOps solution. A properly woven-together system will improve efficiency and performance of your application and container life cycle, while reducing risk and helping you make the most of your Red Hat® investments.
Solution overview
Address security challenges across the entire application life cycle
Red Hat platforms create a foundation for DevSecOps, while our partners integrate and automate security tools and methods into the entire application life cycle. Red Hat is uniquely positioned to bring you a comprehensive DevSecOps solution because of our open source mission, expertise in an open hybrid cloud, and extensive partner ecosystem. Red Hat OpenShift® and Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform, together with partner technologies, help you address security challenges across your container application life cycle, including development, deployment, and runtime.
Red Hat’s view is that securing a container life cycle with DevSecOps methods requires change across three areas: culture, process, and technology.
- Culture means fostering a culture of collaboration between developers, operations, and security teams, along with helping all of them understand why and how security should be involved in the entire DevOps life cycle.
- Process refers to applying workflow standardization, documentation, and automation in agreed-upon processes to improve efficiency and security throughout the life cycle.
- Technology requires integrating the platforms, tools, and processes you're using for application development, deployment, and operations into a single cohesive system called DevSecOps.
Weaving these together to complement and support each other is critical. Security should be woven throughout, and made as transparent and automatic as possible.

Security use cases
The Red Hat security framework and ecosystem
Red Hat works closely with our strategic partners to certify integrations with Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This gives us a holistic view of the DevSecOps life cycle and helps us create a taxonomy of security capabilities so you can more easily consume DevSecOps solutions.
The Red Hat DevSecOps framework identifies nine security categories and 34 technologies that address the entire application life cycle. The framework places Red Hat built-in capabilities, DevOps toolchains, and security partner solutions at key integration points in the pipeline. You can implement some or all the methods and technologies within a category depending on the scope of your DevOps environment and your specific requirements.
Security use cases
Red Hat and our partners work together, giving you access to the expertise you need to weave security and automation throughout the entire application life cycle. Working together, we can help you craft a complete solution that makes security mostly automatic and nearly transparent to development and operations staff. Areas of expertise include:
Platform security
Address container security risks
Most Red Hat security features are enabled by default to help simplify deployment and minimize risk. These features help you protect containers at their boundaries and protect the host from container escapes. Platform security methods include:
- Host
- Container platform
- Namespace
- Isolation
- Kubernetes and container hardening
Vulnerability and configuration management
Find and fix security vulnerabilities
Improve, identify, classify, and resolve application, configuration, and container image security defects. These methods help incorporate security into the DevSecOps life cycle early, which saves time and money. Vulnerability and configuration management methods include:
- Static application security testing (SAST)
- Static code analysis (SCA)
- Interactive application security testing (IAST)
- Dynamic application security testing (DAST)
- Configuration management
- Image risk
Identity and access management
Control system access
Identity and access management (IAM) methods control access to on-premises and cloud assets, applications, and data based on user or application identity and administratively defined policies. IAM methods are found in every stage of the DevSecOps life cycle and can help protect against unauthorized system access and lateral movement. IAM methods include:
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Secrets vault
- Hardware security modules (HSM)
- Provenance
Compliance and governance
Maintain continuous compliance
Compliance methods and technologies help you adhere to industry and government regulations and corporate policies. These capabilities support automated compliance validation and reporting throughout the DevSecOps pipeline, helping you simplify audits and avoid costly regulatory fines and lawsuits. Compliance methods include:
- Regulatory compliance auditing
- Compliance controls and remediation
Network controls
Fortify communication flows
Network controls and segmentation methods allow you to control, segregate, and visualize Kubernetes traffic. These methods help you isolate tenants and secure communications flows between containerized applications and microservices. Network controls and segmentation methods include:
- Container network interface (CNI) plug-ins
- Network policies
- Traffic control
- Service mesh
- Visualization
- Package analysis
- Application programming interface (API) management
Runtime analysis and protection
Address malicious activity in real time
Production runtime methods help maintain cluster hygiene by identifying and mitigating suspicious and malicious activity in real time. Runtime analysis and protection methods include:
- Admission controller
- Application behavior analysis
- Threat defense
Data controls
Protect data integrity and confidentiality
Data control methods and technologies help protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized data disclosure. These tools protect data at rest and data in motion, helping you safeguard intellectual property and confidential customer information. Data controls include:
- Data protection and encryption
Logging and monitoring
Improve visibility and response
Logging and monitoring methods provide information about security incidents in your production environment. These methods describe when the event occurred and provide probable cause and impact information, helping you improve visibility and accelerate incident response. Logging and monitoring methods include:
- Cluster monitoring
- Security information and event management (SIEM)
- Forensics
Remediation
Automate security response
Remediation methods automatically take corrective actions when security incidents occur in production. They help you improve uptime and avoid data loss. Remediation methods include:
- Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms
- Automatic resolution
