An Integrated Approach to Embedding Security into DevOps

The DevOps movement established a culture and atmosphere whereby developing, testing, and delivering software was intended to take place quickly, regularly, and with more dependability. This cultural shift drove the inception of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) fundamentals, which are part of the DevOps building blocks today.

DevSecOps

Fundamentally speaking, DevOps is about processes, connections, automation, and tooling throughout the development, test, and delivery stages. But more importantly, DevOps is about the “automation of tooling” and the different “tooling” associated with building software. However, one thing that DevOps fundamentals have failed to address on their own is, where to embed software security throughout the entire software development ecosystem.

For organizations that desire to produce more-secure software, the use of multiple Application Security Testing (AST) solutions is imperative within DevOps to address the vulnerabilities found in uncompiled code, running code, and open source components. Let’s delve into why that is, while exploring the various AST solutions on the market today.
