DevSecOps

DevSecOps integrates security practices into every phase of the software development lifecycle — from planning and coding through testing, deployment, and operations. Rather than treating security as a separate phase at the end of development, DevSecOps makes it a shared responsibility throughout the process.

DevSecOps practices include automated security testing in development pipelines, infrastructure as code security scanning, container image scanning, dependency vulnerability checking, and security-focused code reviews. The goal is to find and fix security issues early, when they're cheapest to address, rather than discovering them during assessment or after deployment.
