Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery » FAQ
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps means integrating security into every phase of software delivery, rather than treating it as a final gate. The goal is to deliver quickly while continuously reducing security risk through automation and secure defaults.
Practical guidance
- Shift security checks left into design, code, build, and deployment stages.
- Automate dependency, IaC, and container security scanning in CI/CD.
- Use least privilege, secrets management, and encryption by default.
- Treat security findings as engineering work with clear ownership and SLAs.
