Software runs our businesses today. It powers operations, transactions, communications—just about every facet of the digital organization. It follows that ensuring the security of applications and operating systems is a major priority for development and security teams. This is where DevSecOps plays a key role.
DevSecOps is short for development, security, and operations. An extension of the devops model for software development, it involves applying security measures throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). DevSecOps calls for everyone involved in the development process to be aware of the need for security. As a model, DevSecOps encompasses a set of practices to increase collaboration between the security, development, and operations teams, with the goal of making software more secure.
