How to build a DevSecOps Culture

Implementing a DevSecOps Culture helps to outline the strategies we can use to successfully integrate security practices for better outcomes with cloud infrastructure. It also helps to embed security into DevOps workflows in order to speed up delivery without compromising security.

The reasons for building a DevSecOps Culture include:

  • Risk Mitigation : Automation is integral to embedding security in all stages of development and delivery. Enterprises with fully integrated security practices employ automation for driving efficiencies.

  • Better Quality : When delivery teams share the security responsibility with their security peers, security vigilance improves all across the development lifecycle.

  • Smarter Execution : DevSecOps culture removes the organizational barriers between development and security teams and results in smarter execution with shared goals and responsibility.

  • More than "shift left" : A DevSecOps culture is more than just shifting security checks to the left. It enables multiple teams to work together and breaks knowledge silo. This instills more security awareness in the teams, emphasizes cross-team collaboration, and reduces friction in priorities.

  • Resilience : Security drives reliability, predictability, measurability, and observability in your deployments. This fosters an intrinsically secure environment, it also improves responsiveness to security issues when they arise by leveraging discipline and automation.
