DevSecOps, with the strong vision of putting an end to the practice of combatting cybersecurity threats as they arise, takes up the next phase in Development Operations (DevOps). While DevOps is a combined set of adapted strategies to reduce the development of lifecycle while frequently delivering features, fixes, and updates aligned closely with business objectives, DevSecOps comes in as an extra healthy filling. This is an effort by the developers to incorporate security principles like vulnerability scans and penetration testing much earlier in the process. Developers introduce Security testing throughout the development timeline, by dealing with scenarios of actual security issues before they emerge, instead of after a threat or compromise has occurred.

DevSecOps goes with the assumption that everyone is responsible for security. This has resulted in the development of tools and techniques that improve security at several phases of the DevOps process. This integration has turned out giving very successful results, by shortening feedback loops, reducing incidents, and improving security through shared responsibility.

Although the tide is turning for DevSecOps in the market today, there are challenges for organizations while they adopt it. This is a new approach, and for different companies, different frameworks are required. Also, DevOps and DevSecOps have different operating models and priorities, while the management frameworks, developer roles and perceived lack of skills and solutions are at issue.

In recent years IT infrastructure has improved tremendously. The shift to dynamic supply shared resources, and cloud computing has contributed to IT speed, agility, and cost and has all contributed to the development of applications. The ability to deploy applications has grown in the cloud both in size and speed, evolving into agile (including continuing delivery) methodologies, which makes the application “big bang” feasible. In general, DevOps — the concept of combining design and IT operations under a “single unified umbrella” — has helped to increase everything from more regular launches of functionality to more frequent updates.
