DevSecOps with Checkmarx
Have you ever encountered a situation whereby you are not able to deploy an application due to vulnerabilities in the codes? Remediation measures are generally time consuming and expensive when vulnerabilities are discovered in the later stages of the development cycle. Worst still, having a vulnerable code pushed to production could lead to exploitation causing downtime or data leak that may lead to monetary or even reputation losses. With that in mind, have you ever wondered what could be done to prevent this?
What is DevOps/DevSecOps?
DevOps is a combination of two different terms in the IT field, development and operations. Like the name suggests, DevOps is an ideology which aims to bridge the gap between the development and operation teams. In short, it is all about making use of different tools and methodologies to allow a close cooperation between teams. At the end of the day, it aims to hasten the process of application rollout and shorten the release cycle.
DevSecOps is essentially the incorporation of integrating security in DevOps processes. By incorporating security practices into DevOps pipeline, security is maintained while still ensuring efficient and safe delivery of code. As a result, it will not only allow for a more efficient development but it will also strengthen your product. As vulnerabilities can be found in the earlier stages, remediation efforts will be much simpler.
