Importance Of DevSecOps: Adding Security To DevOps

Importance Of DevSecOps Adding Security To
DevOps

• In the race, if delivering faster, the security
  of the data is often overlooked. With the
  implementation of DevOps, quality is improved,
  but developers fail to inspect the security
  concepts of the system.
• DevOps transformed the organisations processes
  to deliver more applications with less delivery
  time. But the risk of security beaches made more
  than 43 company to include security practices
  within the DevOps processes.
• DevSecOps bridges the distance between the
  development engineers and the security team. The
  unification of development, operations and
  security promises to give solutions to complex
  software development processes using an agile
  framework.
• DevSecOps is imperative for advancing the older
  security models within the DevOps continuous
  delivery pipeline. It ensures that the codes
  remain safe and are delivered in a fast and
  secure manner.

• The process needs to be followed throughout all
  the phases of delivery. Thus DevSecOps together
  with DevOps emphasises and streamlines the two
  main but opposing goals Speedy delivery and
  Code security.
• During the cycle, security testing is done
  parallelly without breaking or slowing down the
  delivery cycles. In the meantime, if any critical
  issue is raised, it is rectified at the same time
  ensuring that no threat occurs at the later
  stages or there is no room left for compromise at
  any stage.
• So what are the benefits of DevSecOps approach?
  Lets have a look.

• By taking the DevSecOps road, the security
  protocols are not ignored and followed in the
  agile framework of development. The DevOps team
  and security teamwork in collaboration with a
  clear goal of delivering secure code in less
  time.
• This approach resulted in benefitting the company
  by giving them better Return On Investment and
  improving their operational efficiency, 2017 EMA
  report suggests.
• Adding to the list, top another benefit of taking
  DevSecOps approach is that the companies were
  fully able to utilise the cloud services.
• For instance, the companies who run their
  services in Amazon Web Services have the
  advantage of using preventive and detective
  security controls of AWS.
• This service helps them keep running their
  operations. But the ones who do not use AWS, the
  crucial security threats may cause costly
  downtimes. Some other advantages of DevSecOps
  include

• Security teams have higher speed and agility to
  perform the operations
• Any change or rectification need can be attended
  speedily
• As the teams work together, they have better
  communication and feel united
• Any vulnerabilities or threat gets identified at
  an early stage
• The process delivers high-quality output.

• Getting started with DevSecOps
• DevSecOps is spreading like wildfire. It is
  helping organisations to solve the threats in
  real-time and thereby increase the quality of the
  software.
• DevSecOps utilises the Test Data effectively and
  has raised the importance of the security teams,
  which was once considered as a hindrance in the
  agile process.
• Early detection of the security glitch saves a
  lot of time, resources and costs of an
  organisation. Also, with the higher usage of
  cloud services, companies have to scale up the
  process properly.
• The six important components of DevSecOps
  approach are

• Code analysis This approach delivers small
  pieces so that security teams can identify the
  threats easily and quickly
• Change management Since the process is followed
  along with DevOps and DataOps, the speed and
  efficiency of the process is increased
  considerably, and changes can be identified and
  checked rapidly
• Compliance monitoring The process makes an
  organisation ready for an audit at any time. This
  ensures that the software maintain compliance
  throughout the processes
• Threat investigation As mentioned above, the
  codes are delivered in chunks making it possible
  for the security team to identify the emerging
  threats that can cost high if identified at later
  stages. Also, they are able to respond and
  resolve it quickly.
• Vulnerability assessment Security team performs
  the code analysis and identifies the
  vulnerabilities and get it patched.
• Security training As the software needs to be
  kept up-to-date, the engineers and the security
  team are trained continuously and acknowledged
  with the guidelines on a daily basis.
• It is high time that you start adopting this
  automated security process, DevSecOps for your
  organisation and achieves the security goals set
  for the company.
