Adding "Sec" to DevOps — The Security Training Your Team Needs

The need to integrate security into SDLC is essential in today's technology landscape. In the past, security was often an afterthought, with developers creating software and applications and then passing them along to security professionals to add protection measures. Cyber-attacks are now a constant threat, and we cannot afford to be caught off guard. Cybercrime is forecasted to escalate up to $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. By incorporating security measures into the development process from the start, we can reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities and ultimately protect our organization from costly incidents.

Streamline your SDLC with Security

Security is an essential consideration that cannot be ignored in software development. By streamlining every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) with security, organizations can ensure that their software products are secure and reliable, comply with regulatory requirements, and mitigate the potential risks and liabilities associated with security breaches. From requirements gathering to deployment and maintenance, incorporating security into the SDLC is vital for organizations looking to safeguard their data and software products.

Why adopt and implement a DevSecOps model

Adopting and implementing a DevSecOps model has several benefits for organizations. From increased security to faster time-to-market and improved collaboration, DevSecOps can be the advantage you need to deliver more secure and reliable software products while saving time and money. Embracing a DevSecOps model can offer several benefits for organizations, including:

‍

1. Increased Security - With DevSecOps, security is not an afterthought or a separate process but instead is integrated into every stage of the development process.

‍

2. Faster Time-to-Market - DevSecOps enables organizations to deliver software products more quickly and efficiently by automating testing and security processes. This means that software products can be released to market swiftly, giving organizations a competitive advantage.

‍

3. Improved Collaboration - DevSecOps promotes collaboration between development, operations, and security teams, breaking down silos and creating a more cohesive and effective team. This kind of collaboration helps to identify and address security issues earlier in the development process for a more secure and reliable software product.

‍

4. Cost Efficiency - Automating testing and security processes can save organizations time and money and help reduce the costs associated to fix security issues after the software has been released.
