Security
What is DevSecOps
Security as part of DevOps
DevSecOps is a development methodology that integrates security practices at every stage of the software development lifecycle.
Key Principles
- Security from the start (Shift Left Security)
- Automation of security checks
- Continuous monitoring and auditing
- Shared responsibility for security
- Rapid response to vulnerabilities
DevSecOps Components
- SAST — static code analysis
- DAST — dynamic application testing
- SCA — dependency and library analysis
- Container Security — container protection
- IaC Security — infrastructure as code scanning
Implementation Benefits
- Early vulnerability detection (up to 100x cheaper to fix)
- Faster releases without compromising security
- Regulatory compliance
- Reduced data breach risks
- Building a security culture within the team
