Nikit Swaraj Accelerating | Devsecops On Aws ((full))

Speed is safety. Automation is compliance. And on AWS, the only limit is your ability to write policy as code .

We are not protecting virtual machines with patches; we are building new AMIs. We are not auditing firewalls; we are validating Terraform plans. Acceleration starts at the developer's laptop. If security is painful locally, developers will bypass it. nikit swaraj accelerating devsecops on aws

| Function | AWS Service | Why it accelerates DevSecOps | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | CodeCommit / GitHub (via CodeStar) | Native integration with event-driven security triggers. | | Build | CodeBuild | Supports custom runtimes for any security scanner (Trivy, Terrascan). | | Artifact Storage | ECR (Elastic Container Registry) | ECR Scan on Push is instant and free. | | Threat Detection | GuardDuty | Agentless; detects API abuse instantly. | | Runtime Protection | WAF + Shield Advanced | Protects ALB/CloudFront; uses ML to block bots. | | Compliance | Audit Manager | Automates evidence collection for SOC2/ISO. | Case Study: Mitigating a Zero-Day in Production Scenario: A new CVE (CVSS 9.8) is published for a library in your Node.js app. Speed is safety

Security team emails the dev team. Dev team patches next sprint. Exploit occurs. We are not protecting virtual machines with patches;

The time between a developer committing a security flaw and the pipeline automatically rejecting it. In a mature AWS DevSecOps model, that time is under 60 seconds .
