DevSecOps, which integrates security into the software development process, is gaining popularity in the enterprise world.
At the recent AppDev Done Right Summit, experts highlighted the importance of incorporating security in continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines for enhanced value and faster software delivery.
The emphasis is on shifting security left and enabling it in every stage of the CI/CD pipeline, from code to cloud, to secure software supply chains, policy as code, threat detection, and cloud-native environments.
Security is seen as a continuous thread of trust rather than just a gate in the DevSecOps approach.
The three stages of DevSecOps are Day Zero (planning), Day One (building and release), and Day Two (operations, observability, and incidence response).
Incorporating security into each stage has presented challenges, with a survey showing only 8% of respondents able to ship code hourly despite 24% desiring to do so.
There is a growing need for systems that evolve, learn, and recover in real-time, with a call for full-stack observability solutions to address the tool sprawl in the ecosystem.
DevSecOps is deemed a shared responsibility to create reliable and trusted software, requiring collaboration across teams.
The industry is shifting towards a unified approach that goes beyond monitoring to include logging, tracing, and actionable insights for faster application delivery.
