Post Deployment Security vs Shift Left Security
Developers should learn and implement Post Deployment Security to address real-world threats that emerge after applications go live, such as zero-day exploits, configuration drift, and runtime attacks 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.
Post Deployment Security
Developers should learn and implement Post Deployment Security to address real-world threats that emerge after applications go live, such as zero-day exploits, configuration drift, and runtime attacks
Post Deployment Security
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and implement Post Deployment Security to address real-world threats that emerge after applications go live, such as zero-day exploits, configuration drift, and runtime attacks
Pros
- +It is critical for maintaining compliance, protecting sensitive data, and ensuring business continuity in cloud-native, microservices, and DevOps environments where rapid deployments increase attack surfaces
- +Related to: devsecops, vulnerability-management
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 Post Deployment Security if: You want it is critical for maintaining compliance, protecting sensitive data, and ensuring business continuity in cloud-native, microservices, and devops environments where rapid deployments increase attack surfaces 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 Post Deployment Security offers.
Developers should learn and implement Post Deployment Security to address real-world threats that emerge after applications go live, such as zero-day exploits, configuration drift, and runtime attacks
