With the proliferation of distributed systems, edge computing, and cloud-native technologies, software development and delivery lifecycles are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Indeed, while organizations in the private and public sectors rapidly evolved their IT practices and implemented DevOps in order to meet consumer demands, security was widely addressed as an afterthought. Unfortunately, the skyrocketing number of software supply chain incidents has the government and industry struggling to find solutions to mitigate the alarming risks of supply chain attacks.

From simple temperature sensors to the most complex machine vision cameras, the growing number of IoT devices produce a colossal stream of data that holds the potential to fuel innovation and deliver more value to customers. Yet to harness this growing computing power of connected devices, the data needs to be stored and processed efficiently. While cloud computing supports modern technological advancements thanks to its resiliency, scalability, flexibility, and speed, its capabilities are insufficient to ensure all IoT devices’ correct operation.

Speed is crucial to stay ahead of the competition. With DevOps, organizations can now release code faster than ever. However, working in increasingly complex environments without integrating security throughout the entire process can work against the benefits of an efficient DevOps implementation. The same mindset shift that broke down siloes and enabled a collaborative framework to speed up the deployment of new features applied to security led to the DevSecOps movement. By employing the core principles of DevOps within security, DevSecOps ensures that teams address security matters at every stage of the production process.

Digitization across all companies hit a massive acceleration in response to the pandemic. This urgency means businesses need to respond quickly and deploy fast. However, in this rush to move to digital platforms, what about security? In the race to implement fast solutions, does the criticality of security falter? Not if organizations employ DevSecOps.

DevOps ushered in a new ecosystem for software development. It took two siloed areas, development and operations, and created a new framework and culture. However, it still wasn’t complete. Security wasn’t in the conversation. Hence, the pivot to DevSecOps, wherein security joined the pillars of development and operations. With all three now in a collaborative environment, do organizations now have the complete picture? Not yet. Gaps in DevSecOps still exist, but you can overcome them.

In the race to get your product to market, there’s pressure from many sources. That’s especially true for venture capital-backed startups, whose investors expect revenue returns sooner rather than later. However, that doesn’t mean you should deploy in haste. Balancing priorities with product development should never result in a compromise on security, but your DevOps team may feel they don’t have the expert support they need. To resolve any concerns, organizations should consider how they can be secure by design.

Every DevSecOps team needs a set of tools to effectively manage security concerns and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) performance. This tool kit ensures that “security by design” is top of mind and minimizes risk. In this post, we're sharing the best open-source DevSecOps tools and how they improve SRE performance.

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) are two critical components of DevOps practices. They are often at the crux of where development and operations meet, enabling frequent iterations while preserving reliability and stability. The traditional DevOps framework wasn’t inclusive of security, which led to the creation of DevSecOps. If your organization wants to improve security related to CI/CD, DevSecOps is the right path.
