Development (Dev), Security (Sec), and Operations (Ops) work together as a superhero team to save the day in DevSecOps. Consider yourself living in a city where bad guys (cyber threats) are continuously assaulting and wreaking havoc. The Dev team has the ability to create incredible systems and applications, but occasionally they overlook security when doing so. The Sec team can protect these applications from dangers, but people frequently perceive them as the “fun police” who slow down operations. The Ops team also acts as the city’s first responders, resolving issues as they arise but occasionally lacking the resources to stop attacks before they start.
Now, bring in DevSecOps with all three teams put together! The three members of this team can create apps that are not only fantastic but also secure from the ground up. From conception to implementation, they collaborate to ensure that the app is secure from all online dangers. Security precautions no longer slow down both the development and deployment processes. With DevSecOps, you can benefit from quick, effective development and top-notch security.
By definition, DevSecOps is the practice of adding a security layer before starting the software development lifecycle. It can be diversified to development and operations for the security teams to be a part of the software lifecycle.
