Let’s Make Way for DevSecOps
Dynamic CISO
August 27, 2018
DevSecOps, or the blending of an enterprise’s applications development with systems operations teams with collaboration of security has become a trendy IT topic. The new operating model is often employed in conjunction with Agile software development methods and leverages the scalability of cloud computing — all in the interest of making companies more nimble and competitive. Today CIO’s/CISO’s should revise DevOps to include Security module from beginning. Investing in firewalls and perimeter defense isn’t bad per se but with high profile breaches due to exploits such as Heartbleed, Poodle, Bash etc. which left organizations with black eyes, it’s clear that simply guarding the borders is not enough. By adding security to a DevOps program, CIO’s/CISO’s and their teams will be forced to think about security in a more granular way — at the start of the software development process, rather than as an afterthought.
