In today’s high-velocity, software-driven world, speed and security can no longer be trade-offs – they must coexist. In this incisive monograph, Senior DevOps Engineer Nikita Romm presents a reproducible, enterprise-grade methodology that integrates rigorous security into automated DevOps workflows, creating a unified DevSecOps framework for resilient, high-throughput delivery.
Built on years of hands-on experience designing and scaling modern infrastructure, Methodology for Automating and Securing DevOps Processes delivers a practical roadmap to implementing secure continuous delivery pipelines that meet the twin demands of agility and compliance. Nikita synthesizes insights from organizational theory, cloud-native architecture, and cybersecurity research into an eight-phase framework, covering infrastructure-as-code, pipeline-as-code, dynamic deployment strategies (Blue-Green, Canary), security scanning, and feedback loop integration.
Whether you’re modernizing a legacy release process or scaling in a regulated industry, this book equips engineers, architects, and technology leaders with a proven methodology that reduces vulnerability windows by over an order of magnitude and drives time-to-recovery down to minutes. Each phase is supported with actionable tools – code snippets, policy templates, assessment matrices – and validated against real-world benchmarks like DORA metrics and cost-of-fix analytics.
For organizations serious about embedding security as a first-class citizen in their DevOps culture, this is not just a technical manual, it’s a transformation blueprint.
If you're ready to build pipelines that are as secure as they are fast, this book will show you how – one controlled, automated, and measurable phase at a time.
