Application security should never be taken for granted and should never be sacrificed in the name of functionality or speed. DevSecOps ensures that the majority of vulnerabilities in an application are detected before the code is deployed for production by detecting vulnerabilities in networks, apps, and infrastructure early in the development cycle.

Application security should never be taken for granted and should never be sacrificed in
the name of functionality or speed. DevSecOps ensures that the majority
of vulnerabilities in an application are detected before the code is deployed for production
by detecting vulnerabilities in networks, apps, and infrastructure early in the development
cycle.
With the increasing DevOps conundrum, many forward-thinking enterprises are looking to
DevSecOps approaches to enable them in integrating security into the application development
lifecycle.
Security occurs during development, not afterward
DevSecOps integrates application security testing early in the operations and development
workflow, rather than depending on post-development evaluations and scans to discover
possible application security concerns. This “shift left” approach to security allows developers to
address vulnerabilities before they reach production, reducing risk and speeding up delivery.
Security is built in, not bolted on
The most secure apps are those for which security has always been a top priority. By providing
security professionals a place at the table and including their input from the start of app
development and operations, DevSecOps processes ensure that applications do not rely on
tacked-on defenses.
As a result, security is built-in. The DevSecOps strategy makes security an inherent component of
essential application frameworks and functions, rather than uncovering application vulnerabilities
with post-release security fixes that hinder product rollouts at best and force recalls at worst.
Automation is made possible by integrated security
DevOps and DevSecOps both prioritize automating processes to make things easier. Automation
in DevOps speeds up application development by streamlining design, testing, and deployment.
