Ensuring the security of an application is a constant and growing concern for development and infrastructure teams. When a cloud application uses a microservice architecture, it will need more attention due to the added dependencies.
Combining development, security and operations, DevSecOps is a set of practices designed to standardize security operations across the entire process of developing and deploying applications.
