The Creation and Integration of the Technological Workflow for Software and Hardware-Software Development

The article addresses the life cycle of software and hardware-software projects and provides an examination and systematization of the challenges associated with ensuring network information security throughout each stage, from planning to testing and operation of the developed product. A formalized method, incorporating the use of BPMN diagram, is presented for consideration as a potential approach to construct and implement a technological pipeline for software and hardware-software solution development. The primary objective of this method is to ensure comprehensive information security of the deployed infrastructure throughout the pipeline. This approach aligns with the integrated DevOps and DevSecOps methodologies. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the proposal of a novel algorithm for deploying and maintaining a technological pipeline for software and/or hardware-software product development, which enhances the security of information flows within the pipeline by leveraging virtualization and containerization tools. Unlike existing solutions, this approach achieves increased information resource security by managing information flows at all levels of the TCP/IP protocol stack and automating processes at all stages of the project lifecycle.
