How DevSecOps Works?
DevSecOps is the secure integration of code through CI/CD tools. It follows a flowchart of pipeline timeline, covering software security checks throughout :
1. Code
The entire workflow starts from the root code to ensure static code analysis and code reviews are implemented in the coding phase for the syntax prone to security threats.
2. Commit
The commit made to the git repository needs to be passed through the right level of security by working in a private repository instead of the public repository to prevent any threat exposure. The CI pipeline starts after the Commit phase.
3. Build and Test
This is a combined phase of static code analysis identifying vulnerabilities, performing integration tests and performance tests along with infrastructure scans. This pipeline interval is called as CI pipeline.
4. Staging and Production
This phase of the pipeline is called a CD part of the pipeline and includes a review in staging and production with a parallel passive penetration test, and SSL scan to ensure the production-ready code is well protected.
What is DevSecOps: Overview and Tools
DevSecOps methodology is an extension of the DevOps model that helps development teams to integrate security objectives very early into the lifecycle of the software development process giving developers the team confidence to carry out several security tasks independently to protect code from advanced threat potentials and vulnerabilities. In this article, we will discuss the lifecycle and timeline of the DevSecOpps domain and its importance in the IT Industry and Operations.
