DevOps + Security = DevSecOps

Speed is everything in modern software development—but without security, speed can become risk. That’s where DevSecOps comes in.

🔐 What is DevSecOps?
It’s about embedding security into every stage of the DevOps pipeline—from planning and coding to deploying and monitoring.

⚙️ Key Practices Include:

Automating security scans in CI/CD pipelines

Using IaC (Infrastructure as Code) with policy enforcement

Applying threat modeling early in development

Ensuring compliance through code reviews and automated checks

With tools like Snyk, Aqua Security, and Checkmarx, teams can build fast and secure.

🧠 Shift security left, so you’re not fixing vulnerabilities in production.

Are your DevOps pipelines secured by design—or patched after release?
