DevSecOps: The Evolution of Security-Centric Software Development
Security is now a duty that cannot be put off until the very end of software development in the contemporary digital environment. Rather, it needs to be incorporated into each stage of the development process. This method, which combines development (Dev), security (Sec), and operations (Ops), is called DevSecOps. Integrating security into the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines is the aim of DevSecOps, which guarantees that security flaws are fixed promptly and reliably.
DevSecOps has become increasingly important as cyber threats become more complex and pervasive. The main ideas of DevSecOps, its forerunners, and its influence on the software development sector will all be discussed in this article.
What is DevSecOps?
The DevSecOps technique creates a smooth transition between the development, security, and operations teams by integrating security principles into the DevOps process. It entails making software secure by design rather than applying security patches at the end of development, automating security checks, and integrating security policies into CI/CD pipelines.
Key components of DevSecOps include:
