Security As Code vs Post Deployment Security
Developers should adopt Security As Code to enhance application and infrastructure security by automating compliance checks, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines, which is crucial for cloud-native environments, microservices architectures, and rapid deployment cycles meets 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. Here's our take.
Security As Code
Developers should adopt Security As Code to enhance application and infrastructure security by automating compliance checks, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines, which is crucial for cloud-native environments, microservices architectures, and rapid deployment cycles
Security As Code
Nice PickDevelopers should adopt Security As Code to enhance application and infrastructure security by automating compliance checks, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement in CI/CD pipelines, which is crucial for cloud-native environments, microservices architectures, and rapid deployment cycles
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in regulated industries like finance or healthcare, where consistent security controls are mandatory, and for teams practicing DevOps to achieve faster, more secure releases without sacrificing agility
- +Related to: devsecops, infrastructure-as-code
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
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 Security As Code if: You want it is particularly valuable in regulated industries like finance or healthcare, where consistent security controls are mandatory, and for teams practicing devops to achieve faster, more secure releases without sacrificing agility 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 Security As Code offers.
