  1. DevSecOps represents development, security, and operation. DevSecOps aims to embed the security process within the DevOps process. • The objective of DevSecOps is to embrace a "security as code" culture within the ongoing flexible collaboration between security teams and release engineers. • Like DevOps, the DevSecOps movement focuses on creating new solutions within the Agile framework for complex software development processes. • The goal of deploying DevSecOps is bridging the traditional gaps between the security, and IT teams to ensure safe, fast delivery of code and test data. • Traditional processes are replaced by increased communication and security tasks' shared responsibility during all phases of the delivery process.

  2. How DevSecOps Operates? DevSecOps approach comprises 6 components- • Code analysis – This component involves delivering code in small chunks to identify vulnerabilities quickly. • Change management – Increasing efficiency and speed by allowing anyone to submit changes and then determining whether it's a good or bad change. • Compliance monitoring – Keeping your organization ready for an audit at any time through a constant state of compliance, including gathering evidence of adherence to compliance standards. • Threat investigation – Identification of emerging potential threats with each code update and responding quickly. • Vulnerability assessment – Identification of new vulnerabilities with code analysis and then analyze the response and patching time. • Security training – Training IT engineers and software professionals with guidelines for set routines.

  3. In case you haven't already initiated the process, it's now time to merge your security goals with DevOps to implement the 'Security as Code' DevSecOps culture. For firms planning to merge security into their DevOps framework, the proper DevSecOps tools can make the process seamless. Let's take a look at a DevSecOps workflow: • A developer develops a code within a version control management system. • Then changes are committed to the version control management system. • The code is then retrieved by another developer from the version control management system for static code analysis to identify any bugs or security defects in code quality. • Using an infrastructure-as-code tool, a test environment is then created, followed by the application deployment and application of security configurations to the system. • Against the newly deployed application, a test automation suite is then executed, including back-end, integration, security tests, UI, and API. • If the application passes all these tests, it is deployed to a production environment. • Continuous monitoring of this new production environment is required to identify or detect any active security threats to the system.

  4. What Are The Benefits Of the DevSecOps Approach? In DevSecOps, security protocols are embedded into the development processes rather than being added as a layer on top, allowing security professionals to harness the power of agile methodologies, as a team, without short-circuiting secure code creation goals. The three benefits include- • Enhanced operational efficiencies across security and the other parts of IT. • Improved ROI in existing security infrastructure. • Ability to utilize the full benefits of cloud services.

  5. The inherent safety measures in DevSecOps have many other advantages. These include: • Rapid response to change • More incredible speed and agility for security teams • Better communication and collaboration among teams • Early detection of vulnerabilities in code • Increased opportunities for automated builds and quality assurance testing • Team member assets are released to work on high-value work Every firm with a DevOps framework should plan to shift towards a DevSecOps approach and bring individuals of all abilities across all disciplines of technology to a higher level of security proficiency. From testing for potential security threats to building business-driven security services, a DevSecOps framework that utilizes DevSecOps tools ensures building security into applications rather than being bolted on randomly afterward.
