This document discusses 4 approaches to integrating DevSecOps into the development cycle: 1) Software Composition Analysis to evaluate open source components for vulnerabilities 2) Static Application Security Testing to examine source code for insecure coding 3) Dynamic Application Security Testing to perform security scans on running applications 4) Infrastructure Automation Tools to automate infrastructure configuration and security

1. 4 Approaches To Integrate DevSecOps In Development Cycle
As enterprises migrate to the cloud, software engineering and application release processes
have undergone a huge transformation over the past few years. Both development and
operations teams have identified techniques and tactics to function seamlessly, reduce costs,
and produce high-quality results.
Therefore, traditional security practices are not suitable for such advanced agile approaches to
software engineering. With a sharp increase in security breaches and hi-tech hacking tools,
enterprises understood the importance of security in almost every stage of the application
development and deployment lattice.
Enter DevSecOps!
DevSecOps is an advanced extension of the DevOps technique in application engineering. In
this model, developers/software engineers, operations teams and security teams collaborate
and function closely throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) workflows and
continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
This integrated security approach enables you to maintain an accelerated pace of development
while minimising risk and injecting security into the DevOps pipeline.
Ensure to hire experienced services for test environment management in DevOps.

2. DevSecOps Tools
DevSecOps tools have two fundamental objectives:
● Reducing risks in development pipelines without affecting the speed through continuous
identification and resolution of security vulnerabilities.
● Support security teams, enabling them to have clear and precise security visibility of
development projects without requiring manual evaluation.
Release management, data processing and test environment management tools constitute
vital components of DevSecOps since security automation and close integration are essential in
a fast-paced DevOps environment.
4 Approaches To Integrate DevSecOps In
Development Cycle
DevSecOps is a new disciple. And thus, it doesn’t yet have a defined or standardised toolset.
In this article, we’ve discussed 9 types of tools that you can implement to inject security into
your software development, testing, and deployment processes.
Software Composition Analysis
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) or Open source vulnerability scanning evaluates open
source elements, libraries, etc. Any detected open-source components are identified using their
source, version, distribution, common platform enumeration (CPE), and other unique
characteristics.
These elements are then compared against vulnerability databases, application vendor security
advisories, or other relevant security resources in the DevSecOps pipeline.
SAST- Static Application Security Testing
With Static Application Security Testing (SAST), you or your developers can examine the source
code for vulnerable or insecure coding, identifying potential security concerns that should be
corrected. Each bug is assigned a severity level to help your developers prioritise resolution.
DAST- Dynamic Application Security Testing
Dynamic Application Security Testing involves production and test environment management
tools that automatically perform security scans on running applications. With DAST, you can
identify several real threats without requiring access to source code.

3. These tools generally scan the HTTP and HTML interfaces of software.
Infrastructure Automation Tools
DevSecOps strongly leverages automation and modern techniques. These automation tools
involve automating infrastructure configuration and security.
Tools in this site reliability engineering category automatically identify and resolve several
security vulnerabilities and configuration concerns for different cloud environments components.
