DevSecOps Best Practices — “Must”
DevSecOps best practices are increasingly being adopted to secure software supply chains. The challenge is finding ways to optimize these processes. Here are seven key considerations to help you adopt a successful and secure DevSecOps methodology.
What’s taking security so long?
DevOps has been a recognized methodology for more than a decade, but organizations have been slower to embrace the security aspect. This may be a matter of incentivization, prioritization, and measurement. If your KPIs and the way you measure success isn’t based on security, then it won’t get prioritized.
- There’s a large swath of tooling and responsibilities that DevSecOps encompasses and it isn’t always clear where these responsibilities lie.
- That’s because different companies place these responsibilities on different teams, all of whom are expected to roll into the DevSecOps principles and deliverables.
Certain companies, especially in regulated environments, have no choice but to ensure that security is baked into their processes. But if security isn’t already part of your developer workflows, it may take time to be adopted. What’s needed is clarity about responsibilities and more collaboration, especially if your company traditionally separates security from DevOps.
