DevSecOps
Definition
DevSecOps integrates security practices into every stage of the software development and operations lifecycle, making security a shared responsibility among development, security, and operations teams.
Examples
- A development team uses automated tools to scan code for vulnerabilities before pushing it to production.
- Security policies are embedded into the CI/CD pipeline, preventing insecure builds from being deployed.
Overview
DevSecOps stands for Development, Security, and Operations. It is an approach that integrates security into every phase of the software development lifecycle — from planning and coding to building, testing, deployment, and monitoring. Instead of treating security as a final step or external process, DevSecOps makes it a continuous, shared responsibility.
The goal of DevSecOps is to build software quickly and reliably while maintaining strong security standards. This is achieved by embedding security tools and practices into development workflows, enabling teams to detect and remediate vulnerabilities early — before they reach production.
