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

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

The Verdict

Use Secure Development if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Post Deployment Security if: You prioritize 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 over what Secure Development offers.

The Bottom Line

Secure Development wins

Developers should adopt Secure Development to protect sensitive data, comply with regulations (e
