How DevSecOps Helps in Bridging the Security Gaps

Adopting DevSecOps into your software development lifecycle unifies the development process security
and the entire operations. Let's have a look at how DevSecOps has benefited organizations along
with bridging the security gaps.

Faster Product Delivery

Security issues often bog down the developers with the time-consuming bug-fixing processes. By
adopting DevSecOps, things become easier as the developers can now resolve the bugs and glitches
easily. DevSecOps, thus, eliminates or minimizes such bottlenecks and streamlines the security of a
particular product development process.

Increased Vulnerability Patching and Code Coverage

By utilizing automated processes, DevSecOps improvises overall security through wider and increased
code coverage and vulnerability patching. In doing so, it analyzes and resolves security vulnerabilities
more quickly.

Proactive and Improvised Security

DevSecOps inculcate the best cybersecurity practice throughout the software development lifecycle and
delivery stage. By channelizing audits, code reviews, QA tests, and scanning for security vulnerabilities,
problems are detected and addressed in a lean process. With DevSecOps, fixing bugs has become
easier and more cost-effective.

Builds an Adaptive Security Process

DevSecOps encourages a kind of work culture where security is constantly applied throughout the
product development life cycle environment. DevSecOps, as a process is capable of transforming and
adapting to new requirements.

Advantages of Adopting the DevSecOps

With modern technologies like dynamic apps, flexible cloud computing, shared storage, data analytics,
and containerization, businesses have seen huge changes in their IT integrity in the last few years.
DevSecOps has the capability of elevating your mission-critical application’s speed, performance, and
functionality, scaling it to new heights of success.
