Proposal for the application of the DevOps methodology with a security approach

Abstract

DevOps includes a cooperative work procedure between the groups of turning events and tasks to address the product improvement cycle effectively, ensuring coordinated and secure cycles, in addition to working with a relentless transmission and thinking about the nature of the final result. This research was conducted with the aim of developing a proposal to apply the DevOps methodology with a security approach at the Technical University of Manabi, since the IT department does not have the security or adequate strategies to identify, consolidate and manage vulnerabilities found in the cycle of integration and continuous deployment within the University. The methodology focuses on a non-experimental design, which is characterized by the fact that its variables are not directly manipulated, also worked under a quantitative research in which surveys were applied to those involved, the population was the staff of the ICT area of the Technical University of Manabi. Among the results obtained, it was highlighted that 86% have a low level in the management of automation tools for DevOps, likewise it was found that 42.86% have a medium knowledge, and 28.57% have a low knowledge of DevOps, this generated a significant interest towards the adoption of the methodology, concluding that the implementation of a proposal to use DevOps with a security approach at the Technical University of Manabi, will allow speeding up the development life cycles, position itself competitively and adapt to the pace of the demands of its customers.
