Embed Security Into the DevOps Pipeline-Pain Points

Recommendations

Key Points

  • Shift security left. Identify opportunities to embed security earlier in the development pipeline.
  • Start with minimum viable security. Use agile methodologies to further your goals of secure DevOps.
  • Treat “No” as a finite resource. The role of security must transition from that of naysayer to a partner in finding the way to “Yes.”

Approach

Embed Security Into the DevOps Pipeline-Recommendations
  • Leverage the CLAIM (Culture, Learning, Automation, Integration, Measurement) Framework to identify opportunities to close the gaps.
  • Collaborate to find new ways to shift security left so that it becomes part of development rather than an afterthought.
  • Start with creating minimum viable security by developing a DevSecOps implementation strategy that focuses initially on quick wins.
