Don’t Let Security Put the Brakes on DevOps

DevOps – a software development and delivery process that emphasizes communication and collaboration between software development and operations professionals – is predicated on principles of automation, short-loop feedback, and constant communication.

As this model achieves wider adoption in the enterprise, security teams have often been excluded, largely because current security tools and processes were not built for automated toolchains – they add both time and cost to the development cycle, which is anathema to the DevOps model.
