If youre in tech, you may have noticed the word DevSecOps pop-up frequently in your feed. This is due to the expanding threat landscape and the increasing need for security in DevOps (erstwhile SDLC). What Does DevSecOps Stand For? Dev the process of planning, coding, building, and testing software Sec the process of introducing and prioritizing security earlier in the SDLC Ops the process of deploying software and continuously monitoring its performance Defining DevSecOps DevSecOps is an evolution of DevOps, which involves integrating security best practices throughout every stage of software development. It emphasizes a cultural shift within the organization to actively prioritize security measures instead of overlooking them. This change requires teams to automate security testing and share the responsibility of application security and infrastructure security between three teams within engineering development, operations, and security. This is how the idea of DevSecOps came about. Collaboration between Dev - Sec - Ops Combining these three disparate teams into a single, cohesive process fosters collaboration and enforces security measures at every stage of the software development lifecycle, from early design and development to deployment and continuing operations. Why is DevSecOps important? The security gaps in software development are becoming increasingly problematic. Traditional practices overlook security until the later stages of development or deployment. DevSecOps ensures security is built into every phase of SDLC, reducing vulnerabilities and minimizing risk. Security Challenges in Traditional DevOps : Late-stage security integration : Security is often treated as a final step rather than an on-going process; leading to expensive fixes and...
