1. Introduction & Overview What is RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)? RBAC, or Role-Based Access Control, is a security model used to restrict access to systems and data based on users’ roles within an organization. Instead of assigning permissions to individuals directly, permissions are associated with roles, and users are assigned roles—enabling centralized, scalable, and auditable … Read more
1. Introduction & Overview What is SSO (Single Sign-On)? Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to securely log in to multiple applications and systems with a single set of credentials. Instead of remembering separate usernames and passwords for each system, users authenticate once and gain access to all interconnected systems. Brief … Read more
1. Introduction & Overview In the DevSecOps paradigm—where security is integrated throughout the software development lifecycle—identity and access management (IAM) plays a crucial role. Ensuring that the right individuals or services have the appropriate access at the right time is foundational to security and compliance. OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a modern identity layer built on … Read more
Introduction & Overview In today’s cloud-native and microservices-driven world, secure identity and access management is paramount. DevSecOps emphasizes integrating security into every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). OAuth 2.0 (OAuth2), an authorization framework, is a cornerstone of secure authentication and authorization, particularly for APIs and services used across CI/CD pipelines. This tutorial offers … Read more
1. Introduction & Overview Modern DevSecOps practices demand robust, secure, and scalable CI/CD systems that can integrate security throughout the development lifecycle. Tekton, an open-source framework built on Kubernetes, offers a cloud-native way to create CI/CD systems with security and scalability in mind. It decouples pipeline execution from specific CI tools and instead treats pipelines … Read more
