Benefits of DevSecOps

Secure software delivery that reduces risk and accelerates innovation

  • Integrate and automate AppSec icon

    Simplify DevSecOps with a single, flexible platform

    Eliminate fragmented tools and bottlenecks with an integrated DevSecOps platform built for speed, security, and streamlined collaboration.

  • Develop faster and smarter icon

    Secure your code at commit, not as an afterthought

    Don’t slow developers down with manual checks. Embed automated security into every step of your workflow. AI proactively catches vulnerabilities the moment code is committed—no manual friction, no slowdowns.

  • Easily scale icon

    Ship fast, scale faster

    Accelerate your software delivery securely. Automate testing, vulnerability management, and compliance, so teams deliver faster without sacrificing security or quality.

  • Stay secure from the start icon

    Gain instant visibility and actionable insights

    Replace guesswork with clarity. AI-powered observability provides real-time visibility into risks and performance, helping you predict, prevent, and respond to issues instantly.

Measurable impact with DevSecOps

  • Faster time to market

    Automated security, testing, and observability streamline deployments and enhance operational reliability. Ship faster, deliver securely, run smoothly.

  • Continuous security and compliance

    Compliance and cybersecurity aren’t checkboxes—they’re continuous. Automated vulnerability detection, remediation, and real-time monitoring keep your apps secure, compliant, and stable.

  • Enhanced Dev experience with frictionless security

    Make security effortless for developers in DevSecOps. With integrated automation in your CI/CD tools, you can streamline workflows, accelerate vulnerability remediation, and minimize disruptions—keeping developers focused on creating quality software.

  • Reduced cost and complexity

    Disconnected tools cost time, money, and operational efficiency. Consolidate your DevSecOps toolchain into one automated pipeline—reduce tool sprawl, enhance stability, catch risks early, and lower costs.

  • Secure deployment and monitoring

    Automate infrastructure to achieve consistent and repeatable deployment processes, significantly reducing the risk of human error while enhancing security. Continuous monitoring and automated maintenance and patching provide critical coverage.

DevSecOps FAQs

DevSecOps is an approach that integrates security into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring that security is considered at every stage of the development process—from planning to deployment. It shifts security left, meaning vulnerabilities are identified and addressed early, rather than being an afterthought at the end.

DevOps, on the other hand, focuses on collaboration between development and operations teams to streamline software delivery, emphasizing automation, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to speed up the development lifecycle.

The key difference between DevOps vs. DevSecOps is DevSecOps embeds security practices throughout the entire process, while DevOps primarily concentrates on development and operations efficiency without a specific focus on security.

DevSecOps improves security without slowing down development by integrating automated security checks directly into the CI/CD pipeline. This allows security to be continuously assessed during the development process rather than after the fact. Key methods include:

  • Automated security testing: Run scans and code analysis to catch vulnerabilities early.
  • Shift-left approach: Integrate security early to prevent last-minute issues.
  • Collaboration: Unite dev, security, and ops teams for shared responsibility.
  • Continuous monitoring: Detect threats in real time for rapid response.
  • Compliance as code: Automate policies to ensure consistent compliance.

By automating security and embedding it seamlessly into workflows, DevSecOps allows for both fast development and robust security.

Implementing DevSecOps requires a range of tools that help automate security practices throughout the software development lifecycle. Key tools include:

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools analyze source code for vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools scan running applications to identify vulnerabilities during runtime.
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools identify vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and open-source components.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security tools scan infrastructure code to ensure it's secure before provisioning.
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) tools integrate security testing into the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Container security tools ensure that containerized applications remain secure from build to runtime.
  • Secrets management tools securely store and manage sensitive credentials and keys.
  • Monitoring & incident response tools enable real-time monitoring and alerting for potential security threats.

By combining these tools in a comprehensive DevSecOps pipeline, teams can automate security testing, reduce manual interventions, and ensure that vulnerabilities are identified and remediated early in the development process.

Integrating security into the DevOps pipeline involves embedding security practices at every stage of the software development lifecycle. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Shift left with security: Integrate security early using Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to catch vulnerabilities in code before execution.
  2. Automate security testing: Embed security tests in CI/CD with Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) to scan running applications.
  3. Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate infrastructure deployment with built-in security checks.
  4. Continuous monitoring: Implement real-time monitoring of security threats and vulnerabilities throughout the lifecycle and detect security issues and incidents as they arise in both development and production environments.
  5. Security in containers and cloud: Ensure that containers and cloud environments are secure, scanning for vulnerabilities in container images, and continuously monitoring runtime behavior.
  6. Automated compliance checks: Ensure that compliance requirements are met by embedding automated checks in the pipeline. This helps to enforce regulatory compliance and security policies without manual intervention.
  7. Secrets management: Securely manage and control access to sensitive information like API keys and passwords, ensuring they are not exposed in the code or during deployment.
  8. Collaborative security culture: Foster collaboration between development, security, and operations teams. By integrating security practices into daily workflows and communication, everyone is aligned on security goals, making it a shared responsibility.

By embedding these security practices into the DevOps pipeline, you ensure that security is an ongoing, automated process that doesn't slow down development but strengthens it at every stage.
