DevSecOps | Automation

DevSecOps stands for development, security, and operations. It’s an approach that integrates security as a shared responsibility throughout the entire IT lifecycle. Here are few key points:

• Integration: DevSecOps automates the integration of security practices at every phase of the software development lifecycle—from initial design through testing, delivery, and deployment.
• Shared Responsibility: It emphasizes that security is not just the concern of a specific team at the end of development; it is a mindset integrated from start to finish.
• Automation: DevSecOps leverages automation tools and frameworks to seamlessly incorporate security controls, testing, and compliance checks into the development pipeline2.
• Shift Left and Shift Right: It prioritizes security from the earliest planning stages (shift left) and continues testing and evaluation post-production (shift right).
• Built-In Security: DevSecOps ensures security is part of the entire app lifecycle, rather than functioning as a perimeter around apps and data.
• Efficiency: Rapid development cycles are maintained without compromising security.
• Collaboration: Security teams collaborate closely with developers, sharing insights on known threats.
• Automation: DevSecOps automates security gates to prevent workflow slowdowns.
