Role and Benefits of DevSecOps in Modern
Developing Culture

• A Brief about DevSecOps and DevOps
• DevSecOps
• DevSecOps is a practice that focuses on the
  application of security fundamentals to the basic
  working of the DevOps cycle by security teams,
  cooperation between the engineers, and other
  personnel-related to the developing procedure.
• DevSecOps and DevOps are not different concepts.
  In fact, DevSecOps is a succession of the DevOps
  function. It also enforces the idea that every
  team is responsible to take the security measures
  in their working.
• Compromising on the security can result in the
  failure of software as well as deterioration of
  the brand name.
• The ultimate goal for the new businesses is to
  get new code out of production as fast as
  possible. However, it is vital for any company to
  keep a balance between production outcomes and
  security checks.

• DevOps
• DevOps includes a set of strategies pertaining to
  tools and techniques that allow teams to produce
  better and much faster code.
• It also introduces cross-team collaboration that
  helps in accelerating the automation of software
  deliveries and reduces the cost of deployment.

4

• The DevOps is a culture that is established to
  form an agile relationship for combining quality
  engineering, development, and operations teams.
  Once the functions are streamlined, it promotes
  high-grade communication to enhance the quality
  of applications.
• Goals and Advantages of DevSecOps
• The better collaboration in security and
  development teams from the beginning can be
  advantageous in the long run. DevSecOps opens a
  new door for the organizations to take the
  benefits of operational efficiency across various
  departments.
• This kind of improvement affects the
  implementation of DevSecOps which results in a
  quicker response, detection of code
  vulnerabilities, and reliability of the product.
• DevSecOps allows secure products to consumers at
  an accelerated rate. When there is enough time,
  engineers can make changes in other development
  activities and can also work for data compliance.
• As DevSecOps is providing these extraordinary
  benefits, companies are implementing it in their
  development functions.

• How Security is Integrated into the DevSecOps
  Process?
• Attacks on Web Applications are Done Often
• Web applications are easily targeted by the
  attackers. Thus, businesses must implement strong
  security measures during DataOps.

6

• Companies are relying on network segmentation and
  firewalls to protect critical assets.
  Applications are more exposed to the internet to
  provide various services to the customers. Thus,
  they can be easily reached by the attackers in
  comparison to other infrastructure.
• The Security of the Data is Minimal
• Web applications are more prone to attacks as
  they share various critical data, files, and
  databases. Personally identifiable information
  (PII), credit card data, proprietary information,
  and Social security numbers are information that
  can easily get hacked.
• It is Easy to Target Applications
• There are various tools available for intruders
  to shoot and point web applications to scan the
  vulnerabilities.
• Web application security testing is significant
  as vulnerabilities of the application are found
  easily in the source code.

7

• Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a
  fundamental method for studying web application
  in the ongoing process to find vulnerabilities
  that are security defects that can be rectified
  in the source code.
• Thus, DAST scans can help the developers to
  identify the risk and improve the security of the
  software.
• When you are following DevSecOps in the
  developing process, it is important to know that
  it is possible to find the vulnerabilities in the
  early cycle of development.
• When dynamic application security testing came in
  the picture, the security experts started
  conducting the test at the end of the software
  development cycle.
• It impacted in increase cost, delay timelines,
  and more frustration in the organization.
• In DevSecOps, that stage comes at the start
  instead of the end of the development cycle.

8

• Adopting DevSecOps Ideology
• There is no more difference in partnerships and
  collaboration aspects of DevSecOps and DevOps.
• It is not easy to adopt these functions in
  developing as the risk factor is high and has to
  face by all the teams. Effective methods of
  integrating security testing may include

9

• Employing continuous integration to ensure
  security testing is easily conducted.
• Implementing issue tracking so that the security
  purpose is fulfilled by the development and QA
  teams.
• Application of automation and testing to make
  tests more effective.
• There are various benefits of imposing the
  security of the application earlier in the
  process. If you operate security vulnerabilities
  like any other software defect, you can save both
  money and time by finding them earlier during the
  release period.
• It can be said that today it is important for any
  organization to implement DevsecOps to make a
  reliable application in the stipulated time
  period.
• We hope with the above-given discussion, you
  would know how you can integrate DevOps in your
  companys development process.
