DevSecOps and Digital Transformation: Bridging the

Security Gap

How DevSecOps Ensure Security in Development Lifecycle?

By Sudeep Srivastava, CEO, Appinventiv

The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation to a staggering speed. However, for most
organizations going digital has also posed a considerable challenge at times. To ensure both longevity
and success, organizations require a combination of the right people, the right tools, and the right skill
sets.

Nevertheless, digital transformation brings new scopes like databases, digital assets, cloud computing
services, applications, and websites, thereby increasing the need to secure the organization. Therefore,
it is vital to deploy a complete security approach in the form of DevSecOps to avoid security breaches,
protect the company’s goodwill, and maintain the customer’s connection.

As per Statista, 47% of companies are now leveraging the DevOps or DevSecOps methodology for the
software development process. This practice aims for timely delivery while ensuring high software quality
and shortened development cycle period. Reasons, why businesses are choosing the DevOps or
DevSecOps methodology for software development are faster time to market, code qualities, security,
and improved collaboration among the developers.
