The world of DevOps is constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of the software development industry. With the increasing demand for faster and more efficient software delivery, organizations are turning to modern technologies and practices to help them meet these challenges. In a series of articles, EastBanc Technologies will delve into some of today’s top DevOps trends.
This week, we look at DevSecOps
DevSecOps – development, security and operations – emerged in response to the growing need to incorporate security into the DevOps process. DevSecOps is a combination of the concepts of DevOps and security. It aims to improve the security of software development and deployment by making security a key part of the development process.
These are the key benefits of DevSecOps:
- Improved compliance: DevSecOps helps organizations to meet regulatory requirements by integrating security into the development process, ensuring that data privacy and security standards are met from the earliest stages of development.
- Faster time to market: DevSecOps streamlines the development process by integrating security considerations early on, reducing the need for manual, post-development security checks and increasing speed to market.
- Increased collaboration: DevSecOps brings together development and security teams to ensure that security requirements are integrated into the development process, resulting in improved collaboration and communication.
- Reduced cost: DevSecOps reduces the cost of security by integrating security considerations early in the development process, reducing the need for manual, post-development security checks and remediation of security issues.
- Increased resilience: DevSecOps results in a more secure product and increased resilience to security threats, reducing the risk of security incidents and breaches.
Implementing DevSecOps, however, is not without its challenges. One of the main ones is the need for changes to existing development and security processes, which can be difficult to integrate into an organization’s current workflows. Another challenge is finding individuals with the necessary skills, as DevSecOps requires a unique combination of knowledge in development, security and operations. This may require organizations to invest in training and development to build these skills in-house. Additionally, DevSecOps requires close collaboration and communication between development, security and operations teams, which can be difficult to achieve, especially in larger organizations with complex processes and systems.
