Title: What is DevSecOps and how is it different from traditional DevOps?
1 What is DevSecOps
and how is it different from traditional
DevOps?
2- DevSecOps can be titled as the advanced version
of the DevOps process with additional integrated
security practices. - Security teams and release engineers make
collaboration and create a "Security as Code"
culture with the help of DevSecOps. - It is all about creating new innovative solutions
for complex software development processes to
bring better outcomes. The role of DevOps and
DevSecOps are similar though. - Traditional, older security models have
limitations and DevSecOps is the natural and
highly essential response on the modern
continuous delivery pipeline. The main motto
behind DevSecOps is to create a safe and quick
environment where delivery is smooth and seamless
by bridging the gaps between IT and security. - Here, with DevSecOps, communication is
transparent, responsibilities are shared and all
teams work cohesively during all the phases of
the delivery process to offer the finest outcome
at the end.
3How to implement DevSecOps in the cloud? We will
discuss how to successfully implement and
maintain DevSecOps in your organization in
details. Two goals must be achieved with
DevSecOps Speed of Delivery and Secure Code.
These two goals are merged into one streamlined
process. Now, within the agile framework,
security testing is done in iterations while
keeping in mind not to slow down delivery cycles.
When any security concerns happen, they are dealt
on the spot rather than after a threat or
compromise has occurred. Benefits of a DevSecOps
Approach
4- One of the main issues of the delivery process is
secure code and it can be achieved by using the
power of agile methodologies as a team. - Here, security protocols are the part of the
development process and not just a layer on top
and it allows DevOps and security professionals
to work in harmony to achieve the goal. - A study was conducted and the 2017 EMA report
states two important benefits of security
operations (SecOps) superior ROI in existing
security infrastructure and improved operational
efficiencies across IT and security. - Furthermore, with DevSecOps, you can also use
cloud services fully. If you are using Amazon Web
Services cloud, you can enjoy all the benefits of
preventive and detective security controls of the
AWS model. - Cloud services are used by more and more
organizations to keep smooth and seamless
functioning of operations and you can prevent
costly downtimes by allowing AWS to perform
security efforts.
5- Some other advantages of DevSecOps are
- Security teams have greater speed and agility.
- Superior communication among teams
- You can quickly respond to changes and needs
required - You can improve the quality assurance testing
- You can identify code vulnerabilities earlier and
fix them - DevSecOps vs. DevOps
6- When traditional security models are vulnerable
and cannot keep up when multiple software updates
happen in a day, DevSecOps and DevOps both are
very critical. - DevSecOps can help to make more robust security
models to traditional DevOps practices. Into all
stages of software design and development, DevOps
can ensure security measures. - It brings a more clear understanding, trust and
transparency of probable risks and more clever
responses to them. It is an advanced approach
where security measures are put into practice
from the start and penetration tests to identify
potential security tests are applied throughout
the development cycle. - Developers, now, are more concerned and motivated
to deliver highly secured code. With DevSecOps,
automated testing is performed throughout the
development cycle and hence, security is the main
concern here. - With security testing to automated processes and
regular threat assessment, you can have a more
seamless and smooth software development life
cycle.
7Here are six important components of a DevSecOps
approach Code analysis First of all, to
identify vulnerabilities, code is delivered in
small chunks. Change Management Anyone from the
team can submit changes and the rest of the team
will determine whether the change is good or not.
It improves the speed and efficiency of
operations. Compliance Monitoring Organizations
must be ready for an audit at any given point of
time to comply with all necessary regulations by
the authority or industry.
8Threat investigation At every code update, you
will identify possible emerging threats and
responded to those threats quickly.
Vulnerability assessment You will be able to
identify new vulnerabilities with code analysis
and how to respond and patch them. Security
training IT engineers and software developers
will be trained to set routines. Wrapping Up You
need to hurry as the concept of DevSecOps is
highly functional and becoming popular across the
globe to make the operations quick and efficient.
It is the right time to merge your security goals
with DevOps to achieve the best outcomes.
