What is DevSecops?


develops is the process of introducing security at the initial stages of software development.


In particular, this is a subsystem (more improvement) of the DevOps design philosophy (which you must read first).


And this focuses on synchronizing the demands of various production parties.


Most software is designed for business reasons. This is a compliment for existing services or the main service/product itself.


As a result, there are many considerations that enter the software development. There is a "demand for business plan" and "customer demands" to be synchronized before releasing the final product.


As the final product passes many testing stages, monitoring, and quality inspection.


Business balancing and client needs.

From the client perspective, everything important is the user experience. Clients want products that meet their expectations.


It must provide a promised experience with minimal errors, all while keeping their personal information safer.


Security violations or not,

Our security testing service is a must



As for business, software manufacturers want shipping faster and cost-effective, and within the budget.


That is, they want a fast software development cycle. And this is where DevSecops enter.


This approach helps balance the demands of the parties involved in developing and using products. This ensures rapid and affordable product development (for business purposes), without failing to provide quality (for user experience).


Provides a structure for the work team.

This structure is important in software development. Because software development is not only done by a handful of individuals.


There are many departments involved in development. So, there needs to be a way to compile the process of communication and work between various departments.


Basic example.

Let's say you have a new developer that works with you on the project or, maybe you are a new member of a team. You need a "set protocol" to help you interact with other teams.


It's like a language that streamlines software development. The protocol is called "tool chain." They accelerate software development. And they ensure there are no miscommunication during the process.


Deep: explain the term "devsecops."

Now after you understand the basics, it's time to break down the definition. DevSecop consists of three parts, describing various demands.


To give you ideas,


(Dev) - refers to the software development process, and all coding work involved.

(Sec) - refers to integrating "security practices" into coding for safe software for use.

(OPS) - refers to IT and business management, in addition to future business plans.

As you can see, this design philosophy seeks to balance the demands of three parties,


Software developer.

Security team.

Business Management Department.

Emphasize the "security" aspect.

As we mentioned earlier, DevSecops philosophy is a branch of DEVOPS. It focuses more on security.


The reason is, many software design cycles move security checks to the final stage of development.


When developing software, many developers focus on performance. And they forget to protect the application from evil use. With DevSecops, security testing is done at the beginning of the design stage.


Let's explore the DevOps life cycle for a second. Usually, there are 7 to 8 stages in software development.


And the important middle stage is "testing." This is immediately done after coding. And here, usually software functionality is tested.


With the introduction of devsecops, a lot of security tests are carried out during the midstal. They are done even before the launch of the final product.


Why is it not the end of the development cycle?

In the DEVOPS model, "monitoring" is the final stage. This is done after deploying software for general use.
