DevSecOps, or secure DevOps, is the mindset in software development that everyone is responsible for application security. By integrating developers with IT operations and focusing everyone on making better security decisions, development teams can deliver safer software with greater speed and efficiency.
In practice, DevSecOps can add some friction and hinder the development process. Traditional tools for testing code and assessing application security risk simply weren’t built for the speed that DevOps testing requires.
To make DevSecOps successful, development teams need to start with automated testing tools, as relying on manual processes can’t possibly keep pace with accelerated development timelines. Automation is considered key to continuous integration of security analysis and threat mitigation of dynamic workflows. As an extension of DevOps principles, DevSecOps automation helps integrate security testing throughout the entire software development process.
