Development and Security Operations (DevSecOps)
“Shift left on security with DevSecOps.”
Our DevSecOps service integrates security into development and operations, ensuring secure software delivery. By automating processes and fostering collaboration, we enhance efficiency and reduce vulnerabilities.

Case Study
Security Integration for a FinTech Startup
Customer Challenges:
A FinTech startup was rapidly developing new features but struggled with maintaining security across their development cycle. They experienced frequent delays during security reviews, which were performed late in the process. This led to vulnerabilities being discovered post-deployment, creating compliance risks and customer distrust.
Solution Delivered:
CESREI implemented a Unified DevSecOps approach by integrating security testing tools within the CI/CD pipeline. Security as Code (SaC) was applied, embedding security policies directly into the infrastructure. Vulnerability management was automated with regular scanning and patching workflows. Shift-left security practices were adopted, where security was integrated early in the development cycle, and automated compliance checks were deployed.
Results/Outcomes:
The startup reduced post-deployment vulnerabilities by 70% and cut down the time spent on security reviews by 50%. With automated security testing in place, compliance requirements were consistently met, and the startup was able to focus on faster, secure feature releases, resulting in increased customer confidence.

Case Study
DevOps Adoption for a Retail Company
Customer Challenges:
A large retail company was experiencing slow release cycles and inefficient collaboration between development and operations teams. Manual infrastructure management and deployment processes were causing frequent outages and prolonged downtimes. They needed to streamline their development process and adopt a culture of continuous delivery.
Solution Delivered:
CESREI worked with the company to develop a DevOps strategy, promoting a collaborative culture between developers and operations teams. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) was introduced to automate provisioning, scaling, and management of their cloud infrastructure. CESREI provided training to upskill the internal team in using tools like Docker, Jenkins, and Terraform. The company transitioned to an agile DevOps model, allowing them to implement CI/CD pipelines and automated monitoring.
Results/Outcomes:
The retail company reduced release times from two weeks to two days, improving agility in launching new features. Downtime due to infrastructure issues was reduced by 60%, and system reliability improved significantly. The company achieved faster time-to-market for new products and saw a 30% increase in operational efficiency.

Case Study
CI/CD Pipeline for an E-commerce Platform
Customer Challenges:
Customer Challenges: An e-commerce platform was struggling with frequent deployment failures and long lead times between code integration and releases. Each deployment required manual interventions, leading to high error rates and significant downtime. There was a need for a robust CI/CD pipeline to streamline the development and deployment process.
Solution Delivered:
CESREI built a fully automated CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins for continuous integration, Docker for containerization, and Kubernetes for deployment orchestration. Automated unit, integration, and security testing were integrated into the pipeline to ensure code quality. The pipeline also supported blue-green deployments, reducing downtime during releases. Continuous monitoring tools were set up to provide feedback loops and improve future deployments.
Results/Outcomes:
The e-commerce platform improved deployment frequency by 300%, with new code being deployed multiple times a day without causing downtime. The automated tests reduced deployment errors by 80%, and blue-green deployments ensured zero-downtime releases, improving customer experience and revenue consistency.

Case Study
Infrastructure Automation for a Healthcare Provider
Customer Challenges:
A healthcare provider was managing its infrastructure manually, leading to configuration drift, inconsistent environments, and long lead times for infrastructure provisioning. Their manual processes resulted in delays in deploying critical healthcare applications and posed security risks due to misconfigurations.
Solution Delivered:
CESREI implemented infrastructure automation using Ansible and Terraform, enabling the healthcare provider to automate the provisioning and configuration of their cloud and on-premises environments. Configuration management was automated across all environments, ensuring consistency. Security automation was also introduced to automate patch management and security audits.
Results/Outcomes:
Infrastructure provisioning times were reduced from days to hours, enabling faster deployments of critical healthcare applications. Configuration drift was eliminated, resulting in a 90% improvement in infrastructure consistency. Automated security patching reduced vulnerabilities and improved compliance with healthcare regulations, while overall system uptime improved by 25%.
