Shifting Security Left
In the fast-paced DevOps world, traditional security checks at the end of the cycle are too late. **DevSecOps** is about integrating security practices into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Key Practices
- Secure Code Training for Developers: Teaching developers to avoid common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10).
- Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Analyzing code for flaws before it’s run.
- Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Testing the running application for vulnerabilities.
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Identifying vulnerabilities in open-source libraries.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security Scanning: Checking Terraform or CloudFormation scripts for misconfigurations before deployment.
