In the world of continuous integration and delivery, security is no longer a standalone process. DevSecOps integrates security directly into the development pipeline. As companies face increasing cyber threats, adopting a robust DevSecOps strategy is crucial.
DevSecOps brings security to the forefront, embedding it into every stage of development, from code writing to deployment.
The Need for Speed and Security
With the rise of agile methodologies, speed is of the essence, but security can’t be compromised. DevSecOps enables teams to achieve both:
- Automated security checks in CI/CD pipelines.
- Vulnerability scanning at every stage.
- Enhanced collaboration between developers, operations, and security teams.
A Real-World Example
Imagine a team using Jenkins for CI/CD. By integrating tools like OWASP ZAP, security scans become an automated part of the build process, catching vulnerabilities early and reducing time to production.
