One of the ongoing challenges of implementing resilient software security is that, historically, the approach to security has been owned and managed by security teams while development teams owned and managed its implementation. Security teams are tasked with detecting, identifying and prioritizing risks for remediation, a process they undertake late in the software development life cycle (SDLC), after developers have completed the build work.
As software development and deployment methodologies have evolved and gotten faster, security responsibilities have begun to “shift left,” spreading across security, operations and infrastructure teams.
DevSecOps expands the collaboration between development and operations teams to integrate security teams in the software development and delivery cycle.
Using IDE-based security tools helps developers find and fix code quality issues and security risks as quickly as they are added to their projects.
