The DevSecOps Journey: Why It Starts with Agile DevOps & App Security

DevSecOps is best viewed as a journey that enlightened organizations are starting to embark on. The major constituent to consider on this journey is ensuring that organizations defenses have been properly configured, implemented and operated–to that end, application security testing is of paramount importance. As businesses strive to rapidly release code in order to satisfy customer demands and gain a competitive advantage,security must work in tandem with Agile DevOps processes. Traditionally, security has been an afterthought, or at the very least introduced late into the release process.Hence, security has been viewed as an impediment to high velocity Agile DevOps processes and becoming a primary bottleneck in the software delivery pipeline.This can cause major contention and distrust between development and security teams–but that doesn’t need to be the case. Cyber threats are continuous–so shouldn’t development and security practitioners work in tandem in order to deliver and deploy code securely and continuously?The cultural, differences between development and security teams needs to be addressed and a unified approach established in order to integrate security as early as possible.Automated application security addresses these cultural, technical and process issues. This webinar will highlight how modern, automated application security tools can help weave security into the code continuously and accurately throughout the SDLC.Automated application security enables the real-time identification and response to new attacks and vulnerabilities that emerge in custom and third party code. Additionally, we will discuss how integrated application security unites developers and security practitioners with the tools they are already using so that they can work even more effectively.
