Strengthening Application Security with DevSecOps

Application security should never be taken for granted and should never be sacrificed in the name of functionality or speed. DevSecOps ensures that the majority of vulnerabilities in an application are detected before the code is deployed for production by detecting vulnerabilities in networks, apps, and infrastructure early in the development cycle.


With the increasing DevOps conundrum, many forward-thinking enterprises are looking to DevSecOps approaches to enable them in integrating security into the application development lifecycle.


Security occurs during development, not afterward

DevSecOps integrates application security testing early in the operations and development workflow, rather than depending on post-development evaluations and scans to discover possible application security concerns. This “shift left” approach to security allows developers to address vulnerabilities before they reach production, reducing risk and speeding up delivery.


Security is built in, not bolted on

The most secure apps are those for which security has always been a top priority. By providing security professionals a place at the table and including their input from the start of app development and operations, DevSecOps processes ensure that applications do not rely on tacked-on defenses.


As a result, security is built-in. The DevSecOps strategy makes security an inherent component of essential application frameworks and functions, rather than uncovering application vulnerabilities with post-release security fixes that hinder product rollouts at best and force recalls at worst.


Automation is made possible by integrated security

DevOps and DevSecOps both prioritize automating processes to make things easier. Automation in DevOps speeds up application development by streamlining design, testing, and deployment.
