Application Security?
Cybersecurity and Cyber threats are becoming a
growing concern for every organization as well as
an individual user. DevSecOps comes in as a
concept and a methodology that plugs in security
way ahead in the application development
lifecycle. The ultimate objective is to minimize
vulnerabilities and squeeze in security within
the IT and business objectives as a
quintessential component. How effective this can
be? Most critically, is DevSecOps adding real
value within the Application Security
lifecycle? DevSecOps works on the premise that
Security is a woven part of operations and
development and a shared responsibility in the
software development lifecycle. It tries to bring
in security within every aspect of development
and automates the core security tasks in the
DevOps workflow, instead of it being pushed
towards the end of the flow. Whats the core
idea behind DevSecOps? As quality becomes a
shared responsibility with Agile and DevOps,
everyone gets responsible for security in a
DevSecOps scenario. This implies that no security
aspect can be ignored in the application
development lifecycle. Today, applications are
being deployed on the Cloud, which has improved
its scalability and speed, but has also
intensified the chances of a security or data
breach. DevSecOps is being adopted and
introduced within the software development cycle
to bring more stability for the application even
in the longer run. Its like integrating IT
operations, development, and security under a
single automation strategy. The

idea is to not only ensure security all through
the application development, but also bring down
the time and accelerate the development
cycle. Most of the times Security becomes a
roadblock for rapid application development and
any kind of IT innovation. With DevSecOps the
equation changes and the test code is brought
under scrutiny for all security checks and
validations. Sometimes security and compliance
monitoring tools are not enough for security
testing purposes. Thats when DevSecOps comes in
to accelerate and foolproof the strategy. If we
gauge the impact that technology is going to have
on the application development process its
substantial. All through the technology adoption
process, security will continue to become a
growing concern for all. When Security is
combined in the DevOps strategy, the issue gets
resolved to a great extent. Instances such as
downtime, random security attacks, and breaches
can be reduced to a great extent. DevSecOps
gaining significance and why? As Gartner details,
this (DevSecOps) can lead to security functions
like identity and access management (IAM),
firewalling, and vulnerability scanning being
enabled programmatically throughout the DevOps
lifecycle, leaving security teams free to set
policies. The analyst firm predicts that
DevSecOps which is slightly different from
SecDevOps  will be embedded into 80 percent of
rapid development teams by 2021.

Whats the value that DevSecOps brings for
Application Security?

Summing up the benefits of DevSecOps can be
simple, but practically conceptualizing it within
the development cycle can be tricky.
Nevertheless, one thing is clear, there will be
more automation to bring down any chances of
downtime or attack on the application. It will
also eliminate the need for any manual
configuration of security controls. Every test
will be automated and security will get more
process driven than just being driven by a
particular purpose. Apart from automation, what
else is there on the charts? No delay in fixing
security Imagine the costs that you can incur if
the security checks are not done in time and the
issues are not fixed quickly. It can further
obstruct smooth functioning and delay the
development phases. By bringing in security
within the DevOps equation, major issues get
resolved. The speed of delivery is also taken
care of by fixing security issues as they happen
even with live applications. Read Full Blog at
