  Key Features of AppSecPipelines ◇ Designed for iterative improvement ◇ Provides a reusable path for AppSec activities to follow ◇ Provides a consistent process for both the team and our constituency ◇ One way flow with well-defined states ◇ Relies heavily on automation ◇ Grow in functionality organically over time ◇ Gracefully interconnects with the development process

  “ Spending time optimizing anything otherthan the critical resource is an illusion. W. Edwards Deming
• 17.
  Key Goals of AppSecPipelines ◇ Optimize the critical resource - AppSec personnel ￭ Automate all the things that don’t require a human brain ￭ Drive up consistency ￭ Increase tracking of work status ￭ Increase flow through the system ￭ Increase visibility and metrics ￭ Reduce any dev team friction with application security
• 18.
  Pipeline - Intake ◇“First Impression” ◇ Major categories of Intake ￭ Existing App ￭ New App ￭ Previously tested App ￭ App to re-test findings ◇ Key Concepts ￭ Ask for data about Apps only once ￭ Have data reviewed when an App returns ￭ Adapt data collected based on broad categories of Apps
• 19.
  Pipeline - Testing ◇Inbound request triage ◇ Ala Carte App Sec ￭ Dynamic Testing ￭ Static Testing ￭ Re-Testing mitigated findings ￭ Mix and match based on risk ◇ Key Concepts ￭ Activities can be run in parallel ￭ Automation on setup, configuration, data export ◇ People focus on customization rather than setup
• 20.
  Pipeline - Testing ◇Results from your CI/CD could flow into Threadfix from build Pipeline ◇ Gauntlt runs results could also flow into the AppSec Pipeline ◇ Choose the tools that make sense for you organization
• 21.
  Pipeline - Deliver ◇Source of truth for all AppSec activities ◇ ThreadFix is used to ￭ Dedup / Consolidate findings ￭ Normalize scanner data ￭ Generate Metrics ￭ Push issues to bug trackers ◇ Report and metrics automation ￭ REST + tfclient ◇ Source of many touch points with external teams
• 22.
  ◇ Allow usto have visibility into WIP ◇ Better understand/track/optimize flow of engagements ◇ Average static test takes ... ◇ Great increase in consistency ◇ Easier re-allocation of engagements between staff ◇ Each step has a well defined interface ◇ Knowing who has what allows for more informed “cost of switching” conversations ◇ Flexible enough for a range of skills and app maturity Why we like AppSec Pipelines

  ~5x increase 2014 44 assessments 2015 ~200assessments Changes from 2014 to 2015: - Created the AppSec Pipeline - initial launch in March 2015 - AppSec team numbers dropped - lost a couple of key people approx 3.5 FTEs - Two of the AppSec team members went meta for most of 2015

  Defect Dojo ◇ DefectDojois a tool created by the Security Engineering team at Rackspace to track testing efforts. ◇ Streamlines the testing process by offering features such as templating, report generation, metrics, and baseline self-service tools. ◇ Though it was designed with security folks in mind, there is nothing keeping QA/QE testers, or any other testers for that matter, from using it productively. ◇ https://github.com/rackerlabs/django-DefectDojo

  Key Take Aways ◇Automate, automate, automate ￭ Look for “paper cuts” and fix those first ◇ Finding workflow – your AppSec Pipeline ￭ Figure this out and standardize / optimize ◇ Create systems which can grow organically ￭ App is never done, it’s just created to easily be added to over time ￭ e.g. Finding blocks become templates for next report ◇ Learn to talk “dev”

  Gauntlt ◇ Open source,MIT License ◇ Gauntlt comes with pre-canned steps that hook security testing tools ◇ Gauntlt does not install tools ◇ Gauntlt wants to be part of the CI/CD pipeline ◇ Be a good citizen of exit status and stdout/stderr

  Tiaga ◇ Project ManagementSoftware ￭ Focused on usability and speed ￭ Kanban / Scrum ￭ Backlog ￭ Tasks ￭ Sprints ￭ Issues ￭ Wiki ◇ Open Source – Python / Django app ￭ Entire functionality is driven by a REST API !! ￭ https://taiga.io/

  Findings directly to bugtrackers ◇ PDFs are great, bugs are better ◇ Security issues are now part of the normal work flow ◇ ThreadFix is nice for pumping issues into defect trackers - http://code.google.com/p/threadfix/
• 57.
  For the reticent:nag, nag, nag ◇ Attach a SLA to each severity level for findings ◇ Walk up the Org chart as things get older ◇ Bonus points for dashboards and defect tracker APIs ◇ Get management sold first
• 58.
  Agent – onemole to rule them all ◇ Add an agent to the standard deploy ◇ Add a dashboard to visualize state of infrastructure ◇ Roll your own or find a vendor Mozilla MIG

  #1 Workflow Each StepRepeatable ◇ Remove all haphazard and ad hoc work from the process ◇ Scripting languages are your friends ◇ Config Mgmt – Puppet, Chef, Salt, Ansible, CFEngine ◇ Make sure what you do can be done on 1 server or 10,000 servers
• 63.
  #1 Workflow Never Passon Defects ◇ Test early and often ◇ Increase the rigor of testing as you work left to right ◇ When a failure occurs end that flow and start a new one after corrections ◇ The further right you are, the more expensive failure is so concentrate your early work on left side (intake) ◇ In AppSec, defects are false positives
• 64.
  #1 Workflow Local optimizationswith a global view ◇ Ensure no single-step optimizations degrade the overall performance of the workflow ◇ Find the bottleneck in your workflow and start there ￭ Upstream changes will just back things up ￭ Downstream changes won't manifest since input is limited ◇ Each new optimization creates a new bottleneck ￭ Iterate on this!
