Abstract

As cloud computing continues to drive the evolution of telecom and business intelligence (BI). systems, ensuring robust cybersecurity measures becomes critical. This paper explores the integration of cybersecurity and DevOps in cloud-based telecom and BI environments, emphasizing how this convergence enhances risk mitigation strategies. Cloud adoption in telecom and BI provides scalability and flexibility but also exposes organizations to various cybersecurity risks. Thus, it is imperative to embed security into the development lifecycle, leveraging DevOps methodologies to address vulnerabilities early and continuously. The study focuses on the concept of DevSecOps, which incorporates security practices within the DevOps pipeline, allowing for automated security testing, continuous integration, and fast deployment. By aligning security with development processes, telecom and BI organizations can improve their ability to detect, prevent, and respond to threats. The paper highlights how DevSecOps enables proactive risk management, ensuring that security is not an afterthought but an integral part of system development and deployment. Furthermore, the role of cybersecurity frameworks and tools in safeguarding cloud-based infrastructures is discussed. Key strategies include data encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and intrusion detection systems (IDS), which help ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. The paper also explores the importance of real-time monitoring, continuous threat intelligence, and automated incident response to address emerging threats and minimize operational disruptions. The integration of DevOps with cybersecurity in cloud-based telecom and BI systems provides a comprehensive approach to managing risk, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and enhancing overall system resilience. By adopting these advanced risk mitigation strategies, organizations can create secure, agile, and efficient cloud infrastructures capable of supporting innovative telecom and BI solutions.
