Your source code sits on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps, along with your pipeline configurations, issue history, permissions, and metadata. Most teams assume it\u2019s safe there because it works. But is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Financial institutions, technology companies, and software houses all build the systems they run on. Code stopped being a byproduct of the business and became the business. And as it turns out, it needs protection of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Xopero had spent years protecting other companies’ data. But one question was nagging its founder, \u0141ukasz Jesis: What happens if we lose our intellectual property, the source code and the metadata? “Don’t worry, we have it protected somehow,”<\/strong> his team answered. But nobody knew exactly how. And GitProtect was created to fill that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GitProtect is the DevOps line of<\/em> <\/em>Xopero<\/em><\/a>, a seasoned backup and disaster recovery vendor with over 15 years of experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your provider keeps the platform running, ensuring its uptime, availability, and infrastructure. What lives on that platform belongs to you, and so does the ability to get it back when disaster strikes. This is the logic behind the shared responsibility model<\/a> that Git platforms operate on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SaaS means comfortable and easy to use. But that isn’t the same as secure. \u0141ukasz elaborates on that case on Scaling Cyber<\/em><\/a>, hosted by Ignacio Sbampato, who spent over a decade as Chief Business Officer at ESET. His podcast profiles cybersecurity founders building outside the usual US and Israel hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond the shared responsibility argument, Xopero and GitProtect\u2019s founder shares insider details about the DevOps tools market and industry, including their first major deal: a Fortune 500 company that signed in roughly a week, because it already had a serious problem to solve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Such a damage-control approach is still quite common among companies. However, \u0141ukasz Jesis suggests a more cautionary one. Listen to the full conversation to learn why:<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou buy a service, not protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
