Bolt On Security vs Shift Left Security
Developers might use Bolt On Security when working with legacy systems that lack built-in security, or in scenarios where rapid prototyping prioritizes functionality over security initially meets developers should adopt shift left security to build more secure applications from the ground up, as it helps catch vulnerabilities early when they are cheaper and easier to fix, reducing the likelihood of costly breaches or rework. Here's our take.
Bolt On Security

Bolt On Security
Nice PickDevelopers might use Bolt On Security when working with legacy systems that lack built-in security, or in scenarios where rapid prototyping prioritizes functionality over security initially
Pros
- +However, it is not recommended for new projects, as it can lead to vulnerabilities, increased maintenance, and higher long-term costs compared to approaches like Security by Design or DevSecOps
- +Related to: security-by-design, devsecops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Shift Left Security
Developers should adopt Shift Left Security to build more secure applications from the ground up, as it helps catch vulnerabilities early when they are cheaper and easier to fix, reducing the likelihood of costly breaches or rework
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in agile and DevOps environments where rapid development cycles require continuous security integration, such as in cloud-native applications, microservices architectures, or compliance-driven industries like finance and healthcare
- +Related to: devsecops, static-application-security-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Bolt On Security if: You want however, it is not recommended for new projects, as it can lead to vulnerabilities, increased maintenance, and higher long-term costs compared to approaches like security by design or devsecops and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Shift Left Security if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in agile and devops environments where rapid development cycles require continuous security integration, such as in cloud-native applications, microservices architectures, or compliance-driven industries like finance and healthcare over what Bolt On Security offers.
