Implementing the security to the beginning of the development process and using it as a check at later stage is what DevSecOps is. Developers naturally thrive for a fast release of new products. But that doesn’t mean they have less concern for security. With DevSecOps, developers write secure code where potential threats can be prevented in the earlier stage itself.
DevSecOps is getting lots of attention which is connected to DevOps. Where DevOps develops and releases the application faster, DevSecOps does the same with improved security. With continuous delivery continuous security check is done.
Before implementing DevSecOps in an Organization. There are few vitals steps to consider,
- Implementing security from the start by involving security experts from the planning phase
- Automated security test to ensure the application meets the security standard.
- Train developers to write secure code.
