This pipeline will make sure that your application code is secured and ready to be deployed to the DoD.\nYou will be able to see a visual representation of your pipeline on GitLab - the CI/CD section allows you to view each stage and its status (green check marks for passing, red Xs for failures). You can also view the output of each stage.\nWhen the time comes for CtF approval, the security team will review the pipeline and each individual stage to make sure that you have properly passed each stage without errors or warnings.\nHARDENED DOCKER IMAGES\nPlatform One provides an entire suite of hardened images available to teams through Iron Bank.\nHardened images are stripped-down versions of Docker images approved to be used within the DoD.\nHardened Docker images ensure the application you deploy into the Platform One Kubernetes clusters follows all security checks. Failure to do so results in the image-checking stage failing in the pipeline.\nExplore Iron Bank\nSDELEMENTS\nSDElements is a security questionnaire based on multiple NIST standards that ensures your application follows best security practices.\nThe questionnaire is comprised of questions about your application's tech stack, how it connects, how it sends data, etc.\nThere is 1 questionnaire per application service (UI, API, any other service your application runs).\nSDElements will generate 50+ questions that your team will need to answer to address and explain how your application tackles industry standard practices.\nHIGH-LEVEL CTF STEPS\n\nThe CtF process is comprised of three main phases and ends with a CtF meeting\n\n1. ONBOARDING\nStart your CtF journey and have your first engagement with the cybersecurity team. The cybersecurity team will provision all the required tools for CtF and explain each element to you so you understand what is required. The goal is to ensure there are no major roadblocks or hiccups down the road.\n2. WORK\nDuring this phase, you will work on your applications. You will leverage the tools provisioned in the cybersecurity onboarding process to ensure you meet the intent of the CtF while designing and developing your application's Minimal Viable Product (MVP).\n3. ASSESSMENT\nOnce you complete your MVP and all the items in your CtF checklist (more on this soon), the cybersecurity team will start their assessment of your application and its services. Expect some back-and-forth during this phase to address incomplete or vague items, or those that do not meet the intent of the control.\n4. CTF MEETING\nAfter the assessment is complete, your team will participate in the CtF meeting. The meeting includes all stakeholders and consists of a review of your application, its architecture, and the controls. The Platform One Chief Information Security Officer will then make the CtF issuance determination for the application.\nLearn More\nHAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT PLATFORM ONE?\n\nClick Get Answers to find most of your questions answered on the FAQ page.

Platform One was created so that DoD teams could focus primarily on their mission applications, rather than having to develop a platform and software factories.\nFEEDBACK & MONITORING\ncATO replaces the traditional linear authorization process and works in a continuous process. Security requirements are met due to continuous monitoring and always stay in compliance.\nDEVSECOPS\nDevSecOps (Development Security Operations) provides one of the main benefits of cATO. Automatically injected sidecar containers provide risk reduction alongside Kubernetes. Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous intregration, continuous deployment, and security throughout provides insight on risks.\nMVP'S STREAMLINE DEVELOPMENT\ncATO saves time in later development cycle, as risk and errors are continously reduced during deployment activities.\ncATO METHOD\ncATO PROCESS\n\nThe Continuous Authorization approach provides authorization of platform(s), processes and teams. The platform (including development, test, pre-production, and production environments) is assessed and authorized using Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes. The platform incorporates continuous monitoring with behavior modification/zero trust enforcement and integrated Tier 2 CSSP support.\n\nThe cATO process is adaptable to differences in component/change risk, urgent mission needs, and the AO's risk tolerance. cATO moves from compliance-driven risk management to data-driven risk management.\n\nAuthorizing the team allows review of the program office personnel experience, clearances, skills, and certification requirements. Critical team members are interviewed to assess their knowledge of the program office's DevSecOps continuous authorization process and their understanding of the AO's risk tolerance. Integrated training workshops and tabletop excercises are held to ensure that individual teams work collaboratively within the continuous authorization process. Ongoing team performance is monitored against the outcome metrics established for the program.\n\nHAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT PLATFORM ONE?\n\nClick Get Answers to find most of your questions answered on the FAQ page.

This program is intended to build a cadre of DevSecOps users and professionals to accelerate DevSecOps adoption and capabilities within the DoD, and directly support the DoD DevSecOps initiative. Legacy software acquisition and development practices in the DoD do not provide the agility to deploy new software “at the speed of operations”. In addition, security is often an afterthought, not built in from the beginning of the lifecycle of the application and underlying infrastructure. DevSecOps is the industry best practice for rapid, secure software development.\nDevSecOps is an organizational software engineering culture and practice that unifies software development (Dev), security (Sec) and operations (Ops). The main characteristics of DevSecOps are automation, monitoring, and security application in all phases of the software lifecycle: plan, develop, build, test, release, deliver, deploy, operate, and monitor. In DevSecOps, testing and security are conducted earlier in the development process through automated unit, functional, integration, and security testing - this is a key DevSecOps differentiator since security and functional capabilities are tested and built simultaneously.\nRESIDENCY DETAILS\n\nProspective candidates are military (CONUS - Active Duty) and DoD Civil Service with the following skill sets:\n\nSOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT\nCYBER SECURITY\nDESIGN THINKING\nSOFTWARE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT\nACQUISITIONS / CONTRACTING\nSelected program residents will be full time employees at Platform One and will work remotely on one of the various Value Streams at Platform One: Big Bang, Party Bus, Iron Bank, CNAP, Cyber, or Acquisitions.

This pipeline will make sure that your application code is secured and ready to be deployed to the DoD.\nYou will be able to see a visual representation of your pipeline on GitLab - the CI/CD section allows you to view each stage and its status (green check marks for passing, red Xs for failures). You can also view the output of each stage.\nWhen the time comes for CtF approval, the security team will review the pipeline and each individual stage to make sure that you have properly passed each stage without errors or warnings.\nHARDENED DOCKER IMAGES\nPlatform One provides an entire suite of hardened images available to teams through Iron Bank.\nHardened images are stripped-down versions of Docker images approved to be used within the DoD.\nHardened Docker images ensure the application you deploy into the Platform One Kubernetes clusters follows all security checks. Failure to do so results in the image-checking stage failing in the pipeline.\nExplore Iron Bank\nSDELEMENTS\nSDElements is a security questionnaire based on multiple NIST standards that ensures your application follows best security practices.\nThe questionnaire is comprised of questions about your application's tech stack, how it connects, how it sends data, etc.\nThere is 1 questionnaire per application service (UI, API, any other service your application runs).\nSDElements will generate 50+ questions that your team will need to answer to address and explain how your application tackles industry standard practices.\nHIGH-LEVEL CTF STEPS\n\nThe CtF process is comprised of three main phases and ends with a CtF meeting\n\n1. ONBOARDING\nStart your CtF journey and have your first engagement with the cybersecurity team. The cybersecurity team will provision all the required tools for CtF and explain each element to you so you understand what is required. The goal is to ensure there are no major roadblocks or hiccups down the road.\n2. WORK\nDuring this phase, you will work on your applications. You will leverage the tools provisioned in the cybersecurity onboarding process to ensure you meet the intent of the CtF while designing and developing your application's Minimal Viable Product (MVP).\n3. ASSESSMENT\nOnce you complete your MVP and all the items in your CtF checklist (more on this soon), the cybersecurity team will start their assessment of your application and its services. Expect some back-and-forth during this phase to address incomplete or vague items, or those that do not meet the intent of the control.\n4. CTF MEETING\nAfter the assessment is complete, your team will participate in the CtF meeting. The meeting includes all stakeholders and consists of a review of your application, its architecture, and the controls. The Platform One Chief Information Security Officer will then make the CtF issuance determination for the application.\nLearn More\nHAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT PLATFORM ONE?\n\nClick Get Answers to find most of your questions answered on the FAQ page.

Platform One was created so that DoD teams could focus primarily on their mission applications, rather than having to develop a platform and software factories.\nFEEDBACK & MONITORING\ncATO replaces the traditional linear authorization process and works in a continuous process. Security requirements are met due to continuous monitoring and always stay in compliance.\nDEVSECOPS\nDevSecOps (Development Security Operations) provides one of the main benefits of cATO. Automatically injected sidecar containers provide risk reduction alongside Kubernetes. Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous intregration, continuous deployment, and security throughout provides insight on risks.\nMVP'S STREAMLINE DEVELOPMENT\ncATO saves time in later development cycle, as risk and errors are continously reduced during deployment activities.\ncATO METHOD\ncATO PROCESS\n\nThe Continuous Authorization approach provides authorization of platform(s), processes and teams. The platform (including development, test, pre-production, and production environments) is assessed and authorized using Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes. The platform incorporates continuous monitoring with behavior modification/zero trust enforcement and integrated Tier 2 CSSP support.\n\nThe cATO process is adaptable to differences in component/change risk, urgent mission needs, and the AO's risk tolerance. cATO moves from compliance-driven risk management to data-driven risk management.\n\nAuthorizing the team allows review of the program office personnel experience, clearances, skills, and certification requirements. Critical team members are interviewed to assess their knowledge of the program office's DevSecOps continuous authorization process and their understanding of the AO's risk tolerance. Integrated training workshops and tabletop excercises are held to ensure that individual teams work collaboratively within the continuous authorization process. Ongoing team performance is monitored against the outcome metrics established for the program.\n\nHAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT PLATFORM ONE?\n\nClick Get Answers to find most of your questions answered on the FAQ page.

Consider joining Platform One and the DevSecOps Initiative in the experience of a lifetime by joining us for a 6-month remote Residency. Here’s your chance to learn a skill, hone a talent, experience a different culture and put your fingerprints on the transformation of DoD in one of the most crucial moments yet.","content":"PURPOSE\nPlatform One is seeking applicants for our competitive 6-month residency program! This program is intended to build a cadre of DevSecOps users and professionals to accelerate DevSecOps adoption and capabilities within the DoD, and directly support the DoD DevSecOps initiative. Legacy software acquisition and development practices in the DoD do not provide the agility to deploy new software “at the speed of operations”. In addition, security is often an afterthought, not built in from the beginning of the lifecycle of the application and underlying infrastructure. DevSecOps is the industry best practice for rapid, secure software development.\nDevSecOps is an organizational software engineering culture and practice that unifies software development (Dev), security (Sec) and operations (Ops). The main characteristics of DevSecOps are automation, monitoring, and security application in all phases of the software lifecycle: plan, develop, build, test, release, deliver, deploy, operate, and monitor. In DevSecOps, testing and security are conducted earlier in the development process through automated unit, functional, integration, and security testing - this is a key DevSecOps differentiator since security and functional capabilities are tested and built simultaneously.\nRESIDENCY DETAILS\n\nProspective candidates are military (CONUS - Active Duty) and DoD Civil Service with the following skill sets:\n\nSOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT\nCYBER SECURITY\nDESIGN THINKING\nSOFTWARE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT\nACQUISITIONS / CONTRACTING\nSelected program residents will be full time employees at Platform One and will work remotely on one of the various Value Streams at Platform One: Big Bang, Party Bus, Iron Bank, CNAP, Cyber, or Acquisitions.
