A detailed guide about
DevSecOps

• DevSecOps (Development and Security Operations)
  refers to a unique software engineering culture
  that is built on security. The most unique thing
  about DevSecOps is that it introduces security at
  the early stage of the software development
  lifecycle to mitigate security risks and achieve
  their objectives.
• Let's dive deep into it! 
• What is DevSecOps? 
• The DevSecOps is a security-as-a-code culture
  that emphasizes collaboration and communication
  between software developers and security teams.
  Earlier, software developers and security teams
  worked independently.
• Software developers used to focus on DevOps,
  while security teams worked on vulnerability
  detection, overall security monitoring and
  management.
• The continuous development approach, accepted by
  the modern organisations, helps them to achieve
  speed, agility and flexibility.
• DevSecOps combines IT teams and security teams
  and helps organisations to eliminate departmental
  silos while strengthening security testing
  measures without interrupting the software
  development cycle.

• What is the need of DevSecOps? 
• For years, software developers used DevOps, which
  was sufficient to serve the core purposes.
• However, for today's organisations, data security
  and data compliance are two major components to
  address and here, DevOps disappoints.
• DevSecOps comes into the picture here.
  Cybercriminals are using more advanced exploits
  to breach into the systems and it might
  jeopardize your operations and also might put you
  and your employees in danger.
• In addition to that, when software developers
  cannot identify such cyber-attacks, there is a
  possibility to release the software with virus or
  malware. 
• DevSecOps integrates security into software
  development by creating partnerships between the
  security teams and software developers.
• They can work together and identify and address
  security exploits before they can take any
  actions.

• Key principles of DevSecOps 
• Security 
• Organisations across the globe fear cyber-attacks
  which can enter into any system, no matter how
  advanced it is.
• Most of the time, software developers are asked
  to integrate authentication, authorisation and
  encryption. However, both software development
  and security are two separate entities and
  bridging this gap has always been the major issue
  among the businesses.
• DevSecOps allows software developers to
  incorporate security measures into their everyday
  procedures. It easily and robustly addresses the
  core issue. 
• Keep learning 
• Software developers and security teams should
  learn from their own mistakes and identify the
  main causes of this security issue. With
  continuous learning, they can prevent any such
  attacks in the future.

Collaboration  Superior collaboration and
transparent communication between developers and
security teams must be encouraged to plan and
implement software in the right manner.  Threat
Intelligence  Every day, cyber threats keep
coming and by sharing this theft intelligence,
security teams and software developers can
understand evolving cyber threats and take
appropriate steps to counter them. Also, they can
brainstorm ideas related to threats by sharing
such threat intelligence.  Speed  Software
developers are always on the edge to deliver
secure software systems and that too in just no
time. They have to choose between strong and
secure software and timely delivery. However,
with DevSecOps, developers can deliver software
on time without compromising with security. The
software developers will add security measures at
each step of the software development cycle.

Conclusion  If you want to incorporate DevSecOps
in your organisation's culture, it might take
many weeks or sometimes, months too. However,
with the right approach, right people and
technologies, you can develop a successful
DevSecOps-centric culture to facilitate secure
software to the end-users.
