DevSecOps
DevSecOps is a software development methodology that integrates security practices into the DevOps lifecycle, shifting security left to address vulnerabilities early in the development process. It emphasizes collaboration between development, security, and operations teams to automate security checks and ensure continuous compliance. The goal is to build secure software by default while maintaining the agility and speed of DevOps.
Developers should adopt DevSecOps to enhance application security, reduce risks from data breaches, and meet regulatory requirements like GDPR or HIPAA, especially in industries like finance or healthcare. It's crucial for modern cloud-native and microservices architectures where traditional security models fall short, enabling faster and safer deployments through automated security testing and monitoring.
