DevSecOps, or secure devops, is the mindset in software development that everyone is responsible for app security. By integrating developers with IT operations and focusing everyone on making better security decisions, development teams hope to deliver safer software with greater speed and efficiency.

The DevOps era has been revolutionary. Enterprises can easily spin up virtual machines and deploy their workloads seamlessly. But there is a part that organizations often miss out on- security. It is imperative to include security as early as possible in the delivery pipeline. This is where the need for DevSecOps arises. DevSecOps, or ‘Security as Code,’ is the concept of implementing security practices in the DevOps process. The goal of using DevSecOps services is to patch holes between IT and security while ensuring safe and quick delivery of code.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools provide a complementary security approach with static tests, before or during compiling the code as well as dynamic tests after the code is compiled. DevSecOps approach automates tests, reducing potential security risks. It also provides benefits in terms of consistency and predictability.
