DevSecOps Introduction
DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into the software delivery lifecycle instead of treating it as a separate step at the end. The goal is to build, test, ship, and operate software with security checks built into the workflow.
In practice, DevSecOps usually includes:
- scanning dependencies and container images
- checking infrastructure and configuration for misconfigurations
- shifting security review earlier into CI/CD pipelines
- keeping feedback fast so teams can fix issues before release
Good DevSecOps is not about adding more gates everywhere. It is about making secure defaults, useful automation, and fast feedback part of normal engineering work.
