As development technologies become more fast-paced, modular, and automated, the tools and practices used to secure the software that passes through these pipelines must evolve. While many application security testing (AST) tools can be integrated into pipelines, teams often struggle with complexity, performance, and noisy results. Injecting security into DevOps without sacrificing efficiency requires a concerted approach focusing on:
- Integration and automation that minimizes impediments, running necessary tests at appropriate times
- Remediation of prioritized risks aligned to business needs
- AppSec-enabled developers equipped with what they need to secure code as they write it
- Modular AST that can be employed based on the software being tested
