DevSecOps

DevSecOps integrates security practices within the DevOps process, embedding security at every phase of the software development lifecycle.

Core Principles

• Shift Left - Identify and address security issues early in development
• Automation - Automate security testing and compliance checks
• Continuous Security - Security is everyone’s responsibility
• Rapid Feedback - Quick security feedback loops for developers
• Infrastructure as Code Security - Secure configuration management

Pipeline Security

• Pre-Commit - IDE plugins, pre-commit hooks, secrets scanning
• Build - SAST, SCA, container image scanning
• Test - DAST, IAST, API security testing
• Deploy - Infrastructure scanning, compliance checks
• Runtime - Monitoring, RASP, threat detection

Key Practices

• Secure coding training and guidelines
• Automated security testing in CI/CD
• Dependency and vulnerability management
• Secrets management and rotation
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanning
• Container and Kubernetes security
• Security observability and monitoring

Tools & Technologies

• SAST (SonarQube, Checkmarx, Semgrep)
• DAST (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite)
• SCA (Snyk, Dependabot, WhiteSource)
• IaC scanning (Checkov, tfsec, Terrascan)
• Secrets detection (GitLeaks, TruffleHog)
