DevSecOps Practices

DevSecOps is an extension of DevOps that integrates security practices into the DevOps process. It aims to embed security from the beginning of the development lifecycle, ensuring security is a shared responsibility among all stakeholders involved in software development.

What is DevSecOps?

DevSecOps is a cultural and technical movement that encourages the incorporation of security at every phase of the development process, from design to deployment.

Security as Code

Security practices are automated and integrated into the CI/CD pipeline, allowing for continuous monitoring and compliance.

1. Identify Security Requirements

Gather security requirements based on compliance and business needs.

2. Integrate Security Tools

Implement security tools such as static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) into your CI/CD pipeline.

3. Continuous Monitoring

Monitor the application and infrastructure continuously for vulnerabilities.

4. Automate Compliance Checks

Ensure compliance checks are automated in the CI/CD pipeline to avoid manual errors.

5. Training and Awareness

Provide ongoing training for developers and operations staff on security best practices.

• Incorporate security tools early in the development lifecycle.
• Automate security testing to reduce manual effort and errors.
• Foster a culture of shared responsibility for security among teams.
• Regularly review and update security policies and tools.
• Implement a feedback loop to improve security measures continuously.
