What are the Challenges in Implementing DevSecOps?
There are several challenges faced by the DevSecOps team while collaborating with the development team:
- Compatibility Issues: While DevSecOps methodology contains a certain set of tools and equipment to protect data and code from security vulnerabilities or threats, it raises security issues as well if not compatible with the ongoing software SDLC. The issue may emerge across the development team to make their code compatible with security concerns.
- Complexity Issue: Heavy deployment, continuous infrastructure security check, data security, and code reassurance heavily leverage the development team and increases the level of complexity while building and delivering software product.
- Speed and Security Issue: DevSecOps is all about high and fast delivery with security and operations integration but sometimes too many security concerns hamper the positive impact of development and deployment.
- Skills Issue: Developers still lack the security skills that need to be carried out while implementing DevSecOps tools and practices. The developer must enrol in some self-paced course or online training by organisations to implement security practices while coding efficiently.
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.
