Background for this topic.
DevSecOps integrates security practices directly into the software development and operations workflow, embedding automated security checks within continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. This approach ensures that code is scanned for vulnerabilities, configurations are validated, and compliance requirements are enforced early and continuously throughout development, rather than as a separate phase after deployment.
By automating security testing and embedding it into development cycles, DevSecOps reduces the risk of introducing exploitable flaws and misconfigurations that attackers could leverage. It also expands the attack surface to include the CI/CD pipeline itself, requiring secure credential management and pipeline integrity controls. Effective DevSecOps demands collaboration between developers, security teams, and operations to maintain secure codebases while preserving deployment speed and agility.
