DevSecOps refers to a software engineering culture that introduces security early in the development lifecycle to mitigate risks. It emphasizes collaboration between developers and security teams, where they previously worked independently. DevSecOps combines these teams to strengthen security testing without disrupting the development cycle. There is a need for DevSecOps because security and compliance are now major priorities, and developers can inadvertently release software with vulnerabilities. Key principles include integrating security practices into development, continuous learning, collaboration between teams, sharing threat intelligence, and delivering secure software quickly.

1. A detailed guide about
DevSecOps

2. DevSecOps (Development and Security Operations) refers to a unique software engineering
culture that is built on security. The most unique thing about DevSecOps is that it introduces
security at the early stage of the software development lifecycle to mitigate security risks and
achieve their objectives.
Let's dive deep into it!
What is DevSecOps?
● The DevSecOps is a security-as-a-code culture that emphasizes collaboration and
communication between software developers and security teams. Earlier, software
developers and security teams worked independently.
● Software developers used to focus on DevOps, while security teams worked on
vulnerability detection, overall security monitoring and management.
● The continuous development approach, accepted by the modern organisations, helps
them to achieve speed, agility and flexibility.
● DevSecOps combines IT teams and security teams and helps organisations to eliminate
departmental silos while strengthening security testing measures without interrupting
the software development cycle.

3. What is the need of DevSecOps?
● For years, software developers used DevOps, which was sufficient to serve the core
purposes.
● However, for today's organisations, data security and data compliance are two major
components to address and here, DevOps disappoints.
● DevSecOps comes into the picture here. Cybercriminals are using more advanced
exploits to breach into the systems and it might jeopardize your operations and also
might put you and your employees in danger.
● In addition to that, when software developers cannot identify such cyber-attacks, there
is a possibility to release the software with virus or malware.
● DevSecOps integrates security into software development by creating partnerships
between the security teams and software developers.
They can work together and identify and address security exploits before they can take any
actions.

4. Key principles of DevSecOps
Security
● Organisations across the globe fear cyber-attacks which can enter into any system, no
matter how advanced it is.
● Most of the time, software developers are asked to integrate authentication, authorisation
and encryption. However, both software development and security are two separate
entities and bridging this gap has always been the major issue among the businesses.
● DevSecOps allows software developers to incorporate security measures into their
everyday procedures. It easily and robustly addresses the core issue.
Keep learning
Software developers and security teams should learn from their own mistakes and identify the
main causes of this security issue. With continuous learning, they can prevent any such attacks
in the future.

5. Collaboration
Superior collaboration and transparent communication between developers and security
teams must be encouraged to plan and implement software in the right manner.
Threat Intelligence
Every day, cyber threats keep coming and by sharing this theft intelligence, security teams
and software developers can understand evolving cyber threats and take appropriate steps to
counter them. Also, they can brainstorm ideas related to threats by sharing such threat
intelligence.
Speed
Software developers are always on the edge to deliver secure software systems and that too
in just no time. They have to choose between strong and secure software and timely
delivery. However, with DevSecOps, developers can deliver software on time without
compromising with security. The software developers will add security measures at each step
of the software development cycle.

6. Conclusion
If you want to incorporate DevSecOps in your organisation's culture, it might take many
weeks or sometimes, months too. However, with the right approach, right people and
technologies, you can develop a successful DevSecOps-centric culture to facilitate secure
software to the end-users.
