Evaluating the current digital and online
transactions scenario, one can confidently state
that every enterprise of varying sizes is gearing
up to fix security gaps within their
applications. Security Testing is definitely the
way out, but organizations are exploring
inventive ways to deal with the burgeoning
security challenges. DevSecOps has emerged as a
methodological pattern to deal with security
issues and speed up the software development
cycle. DevOps enables source code control of the
software applications that run within the data
center. The code is protected by firewall, which
makes the application stable and protects it from
any kind of intrusion. With DevSecOps, Security
is brought in well ahead in the development
cycle. Similar to the DevOps methodology, the
testing is continuous, with capabilities of
continuous integration. The need for DevSecOps
has emerged to respond to the bottleneck created
by older security models, which slows down the
continuous delivery cycle. Hence, the objective
is to reduce the gap between IT and security and
at the same time ensure fast and secure delivery
of code. The ultimate idea is to boost
communication and share responsibility for all
security tasks while working through the delivery
process. Key component of DevSecOps DevSecOps
enables teams to attain two opposing goals
pace up the delivery cycle along with a secure
code. Both these objectives normally take an
opposing route, as today application development
has to be done at utmost speed, but security

cannot be rushed into as well. This creates a
challenging dilemma for many. Within the
DevSecOps cycle, security testing is done within
iterations without disrupting the delivery
cycles. In this way, critical security issues are
managed and any potential threat is
eliminated. Some of the key aspects within
DevSecOps are Code Analysis, implies delivering
code within smaller fragments that helps in
identifying the security gaps quickly. Change
Management that enables anyone to submit the
changes for evaluation. Compliance Monitoring
that supports the team to stay alert for any
possible audits or compliance evaluations. Threat
identification that enables teams to identify
potential emerging threats and stay responsive to
alterations. Vulnerability Assessment and
Security training helps teams to diagnose the
applications for possible threats and boosts the
need for better training and preparedness. In
this way, the Security Engineers are able to
follow the guidelines and gear up for the
required changes. These components somehow sum
up the importance of DevSecOps for ensuring an
applications security. Apart from ensuring
security of the application, DevSecOps has some
intrinsic benefits in the application development
process. These benefits enable teams to stay
ahead and ensure a secure interface for their
application.

How DevSecOps makes a difference? According to
Red Hats chief security architect Mike Bursell,
DevSecOps is really in fact about getting devops
right from the start. If youre doing devops but
not putting security at the centre of your
process youre not doing devops properly,
Bursell tells Computerworld UK. This isnt to
say that security should take over everything you
do, because if that is whats happening then
youre heading for paralysis, but that you should
design security into your devops cycles. Thats
