What, Why, And How Of DevSecOps?

• Every day we come up with the news of data
  breaching and hacking. Is there any loophole in
  the application development? Dont we have any
  established laws against these breachers? Answers
  to these questions is a big Yes.
• A security breach can results in loss of
  billions, even trillions of personal records,
  confidential information, and overall effects on
  the business. The traditional methodology for
  development is outdated in this tech-savvy world.
  
• Today, where countless applications are created
  and uploaded on the webstore, a security breach
  is a prime concern for businesses and application
  developers. To cope with this critical security
  crises, DevSecOps is the saviour.
• You may wonder, what exactly is DevSecOps?
• DevSecOps stands for Development, Security, and
  Operations. It is about implementing the security
  right from the initial stage of the application
  development until the final product delivery.

• Its purpose is to ensure that every security
  breach is addressed and vulnerabilities are
  reduced. During the process, everybody is
  accountable for the security and actions from the
  developer to the operation department. Whereas in
  the traditional practice, security was the least
  concern of each department.
• Every organization that has DevOps should shift
  its gears towards the DevSecOps to get a higher
  level of proficiency, data compliance, and more
  secure application development experience.
  Instead of rushing at the last moment of a
  hazardous situation, DevSecOps ensures security
  at each level of development.
• How Does It work?

• We hope that by now, you may have understood, how
  DevSecOps improves the software by eliminating
  the errors and risks at various stages of
  development. But for the team, it is very
  necessary to understand its working and
  implementation in the cycle. Lets understand the
  workflow charts and tools for a seamless output
  in the below reading.

• Lets understand how DevSecOps and DevOps work
• In the first step, a code is created in the
  version control management system by a developer
• All changes are seen and done in the same system
• After that, another developer takes the code from
  the same system, analyzes it, and identifies bugs
  or security breach in the code
• Once the developer rectify the error, the
  environment is created using infrastructure as
  the tool
• Next step is the deployment of the application,
  here test data automation is carried out
  including security tests, UI, integration API

• Once the application clears these tests, it is
  suitable for the production step
• Even under the production environment,
  continuously monitoring is done to identify and
  rectify security threats.
• What is the need of DevSecOps?
• The last decade was very crucial and progressive
  for the IT industry as it has witnessed
  substantial growth in the term of cloud
  computing, storage, and new applications.
  However, with the entry of DevOps, the speed and
  functionality took the industry to the next level
  of success.
• But the only concern of DevOps was its security
  inefficiency. Due to this reason, DevSecOps is
  welcomed warmly. It caters to the need for speed,
  functionality, security, and scale under a single
  umbrella.
• How to make it the best? Some of DevSecOps
  practices.

• With the implementation of DevSecOps, the
  resources will be utilized in a better and
  efficient way. Here are some practices that help
  in operating things in a smooth way

• Safe and secure coding
• It is very important and necessary to practice
  safe and secure software development to cut down
  the high risk of vulnerabilities. Unsecure coding
  is a threat to the breach of confidential
  information. Hire the service of a highly
  experienced and skilled developer to avoid high
  risk.
• 2. Implement Automation
• Automation is the key factor for the secure and
  safe development of an application. Embed the
  automation with continuous integration and
  deployment environment to match the speed of your
  security with the process. It becomes necessary
  for a larger organization where varied versions
  of code are pushed in the production environment
  for multiple times.
• 3. Implementation from the Beginning
• Implement security from the first stage of
  application development. Till now, we have
  understood why it is necessary to implement a
  security check from the beginning. This practice
  may take time, but in the long run, it is a handy
  and safest way for risk-free application
  development.

• 4. People Technology Process Risk Free
• The major role for the success of DevSecOps is
  played by the perfect trio of people, technology,
  and process. Convincing people about the shift
  from traditional methods to DevSecOps may need
  lots of effort, but the result will be worth of
  those efforts made by you. Just after convincing
  people, frame a common process to strengthen the
  security aim. After the merger of people and
  process, next comes is technology. With practices
  like automated compliance scan, confirmation
  management, host hardening, and others DevSecOps,
  the aim for the secured and safe application is
  not far.
• The Efforts will Be Worth
• People may hesitate to go for DevSecOps
  initially, but believe us it will benefit your
  organization in the long run. It is the new
  revolution in securing the efforts and
  application from all mishandling and threats.
