Abstract

DevOps has revolutionized software development by emphasizing collaboration and automation, but security often lags behind. DevSecOps, the integration of security into the DevOps workflow, is crucial for ensuring security without compromising speed. By embedding security practices at every stage, from planning to deployment, organizations can identify and mitigate risks early, reducing the likelihood of breaches. This approach requires cultural shifts, new tools, and continuous monitoring, but the benefits—improved security, software quality, and overall organizational resilience—make it essential for modern software development.
