The federal government is at a pivotal moment in understanding how to effectively bring the transformative power of AI to bear on mission assurance. Modernizing the software pipelines of government agencies and the contractors serving them is necessary to create better experiences for people accessing vital services like housing assistance, student aid, or medical benefits. Just as importantly, responsible AI adoption in the service of our national defense is foundational to our ability to innovate quickly while maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture.

Cooking with Code: A DevOps Kitchen Secured by Thales

Tue, 08/19/2025 - 05:13

In today’s hyperconnected digital world, deploying applications is a lot like running a high-performance, Michelin-star kitchen. You need the right setup, a disciplined process, and seamless coordination, where every tool, role, and task moves in harmony, executed flawlessly. Speed and precision are essential, but without tight security, your secret sauce is at risk.

Let’s step into the kitchen and see how DevOps tools work together like a world-class culinary team, with Thales ensuring everything stays safe from prep to plating.

Jenkins Gets Cooking: The Head Chef

At the heart of this kitchen is Jenkins, the head chef. Jenkins runs the show, deciding what’s cooking, when to start, and who handles what, and when service begins.

In DevOps, Jenkins automates CI/CD pipelines, triggering builds, tests, and deployments with military precision. Think of it like a chef shouting:

“Grill the steak! Plate the salad!”

Without Jenkins coordinating, the kitchen would fall into chaos.

Terraform Builds the Kitchen: The Architect

Before the first dish can be cooked, the kitchen needs to be built with counters, stoves, and appliances all in place. That’s where Terraform, the kitchen architect, steps in. It provisions cloud infrastructure as code, building consistent environments on demand.

Think of Terraform as drawing the blueprint and stocking the shelves exactly the same way every time, ensuring your infrastructure is repeatable, reliable, and ready to scale.

Ansible Preps the Line: The Sous Chef

Now it’s time to get the ingredients ready. That’s Ansible, the sous chef.

Ansible configures servers, applies security patches, and installs packages to ensure the applications can run smoothly. It’s the tool that warms the pans and organizes the stations, making sure every component of your application is ready to cook on command.

Kafka Delivers Orders: The Waiter

A high-speed kitchen thrives on timing. Enter Kafka, your restaurant's order management system, keeping all stations in sync, passing tickets from the front to the grill and dessert bar.

Kafka delivers real-time data between microservices, making sure that every dish is fired and plated at just the right moment. No overcooked steaks, no cold desserts.

In DevOps, Kafka ensures reliable delivery and sequencing of messages, keeping your distributed systems in perfect sync.

Thales Locks the Pantry: The Security Team

Speed is good. But what happens if someone sneaks into the pantry and steals your top-secret marinade?

That’s where Thales comes in, as the guardians of your kitchen, adding enterprise-grade data security and governance to your DevOps kitchen. They lock down your sensitive data, monitor access, and control who touches what and when.

CipherTrust Protects the Secret Sauce

Your sensitive data and keys (credentials, API secrets, and customer data) are your most precious ingredients.

CipherTrust secures data-at-rest encryption, tokenization, and key lifecycle management. Integrated with Terraform and Ansible, it ensures your secrets stay sealed in a secured digital pantry.

CCKM Controls the Keys to the Kitchen

Need to restrict which chefs have access to specific ingredients?

CipherTrust Cloud Key Management (CCKM) gives you cloud-native key control across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It enforces least privilege access and helps you implement Zero Trust across your infrastructure. It offers CMEK with centralized visibility and control.

SafeNet Trusted Access Guards the Line

Not every cook should access to the Head Chef (Jenkins) or be able to modify recipes.

SafeNet Trusted Access enforces MFA and SSO, tracks identity behavior, and restricts access based on role. It’s the digital gatekeeper that scopes access to pipelines, cloud vaults, and infrastructure and tracks identity behavior across DevOps flows

Data Security Fabric Improves your Posture

A locked pantry is good, but so is surveillance.

Thales Data Security Fabric (DSF) is like CCTV for your digital pantry — makes you ever vigilant constantly watching who accessed what, when, and why. It provides real-time visibility into sensitive data access across databases, data lakes, and cloud services, while detecting risky or anomalous activity before it becomes a threat.

Paired with Data Activity Monitoring (DAM), it provides full forensic traceability, like an efficient sous chef logging every spice used and every drawer opened. DAM alerts on anomalies, investigates misuse and provides audit-ready trails for MAS, GDPR, PCI DSS.

WAF Keeps the Kitchen Door Secure

Finally, there’s Imperva WAF, the bouncer at your kitchen door.

It blocks malicious actors, bad bots, and injection attempts before they ever touch your APIs or applications from OWASP Top 10 attacks. It filters out bad bots, injection attempts, and zero-day exploit. Integrated with Thales monitoring, WAF ensures full-stack visibility, without slowing down service.

Putting It All Together

Running DevOps today is like managing a high-end kitchen. But even if your team moves fast and works in harmony, without proper security, it’s like letting anyone raid your walk-in fridge during peak service.

With Thales, you get secure pipelines, compliant data practices, and peace of mind in the age of GenAI and multicloud.

We secure it from the inside out, from secrets and keys to access and analytics, every part of your infrastructure stays safe, monitored, and audit-ready.

So, next time someone asks you how DevOps and security go hand in hand, just tell them:

“It’s like running a Michelin-star kitchen — with Thales guarding the recipes, tracking every ingredient, and ensuring every dish meets the highest standard.”

Generative-AI systems are a dense web of non-human identities (NHIs)—APIs, services, agents, schedulers, model endpoints, data pipelines—talking to each other over Transport Layer Security (TLS). Attackers now target these NHIs to move laterally, hijack tools, exfiltrate models/data, and impersonate trusted workloads.
