“Think of DevSecOps like a seatbelt it doesn’t slow you down, but it’s always there to protect you.”
The Evolution: From DevOps to DevSecOps
DevSecOps is the natural evolution of the DevOps movement. While DevOps focused on speed and collaboration, it often left security as a gatekeeper. DevSecOps completes this shift by integrating security across the lifecycle making it everyone’s responsibility.
This is central to Codewave’s DevOps Services approach enabling faster delivery without compromising security or compliance.
Why DevSecOps Matters
- Cost of Late Fixes: Fixing a vulnerability in production can be 100x costlier than addressing it early.
- Regulatory Pressure: Regulations like GDPR and HIPAA demand continuous compliance, which is where Digital Transformation helps automate and audit security.
- Rising Threats: Sophisticated supply chain attacks mean security must be continuous, not periodic.
Core Principles of DevSecOps
- Shift Left Security: Bring security to the earliest phases of the SDLC.
- Automation: Integrate scanning and testing in pipelines to scale securely.
- Continuous Monitoring: Detect and respond in real time with tools and frameworks like Cloud Infrastructure Management.
Compliance as Code: Automate compliance rules for faster, audit-ready development.
Case Study Highlights
Enterprises like Capital One and Atomstate’s client (a global bank) achieved faster, more secure pipelines by embedding DevSecOps. The outcomes fewer vulnerabilities, faster releases, and always-on audit readiness demonstrate the value of Enterprise Application Modernization.
Conclusion
DevSecOps isn’t optional anymore it’s foundational for secure, agile delivery. By shifting security left, automating checks, and fostering collaboration, teams can protect innovation instead of slowing it down.
Codewave is a design thinking led digital transformation company enabling organisations with playful innovation using AI & ML, IoT & Edge, AR, VR, Cloud, Blockchain, and Data.
