\nDevelopment speed is the resounding force driving today’s enterprise technology world. This can be accomplished through automation, utilizing an MSP, cross training, and more. Sometimes, though, increasing development speed comes at the expense of security.<\/p>\n

There are so many terms floating around IT worlds today. Just as you start to figure out DevOps, DevSecOps or Secure DevOps jumps onto your radar. It\u2019s certainly not a new term by today\u2019s standard of \u201cnew,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t have the same notoriety that DevOps has. Even managed service providers have specific offerings for DevOps, with security being offered as a different service.<\/p>\n

DevSecOps is as simple as it sounds, it is the conscious integration of security into the DevOps process. With the news earlier this year about Meltdown and Spectre<\/a>, having the most efficient security processes is critical. The mindset of both DevOps and DevSecOps is essentially the same, increase collaboration and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Will Security Slow Down Development?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A core objective in today’s computing world is to speed up the development pipeline to keep up with a more demanding marketplace. Theoretically, adding security would slow this process down. However, adding security testing into the development process creates a safer development pipeline.\u00a0<\/span>Thus, there will be more confidence in releasing a product. Development teams won\u2019t have to scramble to make changes when the security team finds problems after a release is live.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s better to be proactive with any software release. Adding security into the pipeline, through automation or training, speeds up releases, as security won’t be tacked on at the end.<\/p>\n

More Collaboration<\/strong><\/h5>\n

IT culture is undergoing a rapid cultural change in the way that it operates. DevOps promotes integration and breaking down IT silos, and it has been relevant to success in many modern businesses. However, security teams tend to be left out of this integration.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the security team is coming in after the code is live and things are already out of control. For example, a development team might need to do some image processing from a library, but the library they chose is vulnerable. It would be much easier for the development and operations teams to work with the security team to catch issues like this as earlier in the pipeline. Collaboration is far more efficient than pointing fingers. Collaborating with security teams will allow both sides to have more empathy for each other\u2019s responsibilities. Secure code is something all teams are striving for, integrating security to DevOps is the natural next step to creating optimal software.<\/p>\n

Cross-Training<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Understanding the specifics of what your colleagues are looking for makes the entire software release process easier. Leaving security as the last step is illogical. Everyone in the development pipeline must follow security best practices. Security is everyone’s<\/strong> job.<\/p>\n

Another way that this can be accomplished is by following a method that software developer Puppet<\/a> has integrated. They have a three-day internal convention that has subject matter experts across the IT fields. Employees hear from operations, security, and development team members to see exactly what they\u2019re looking for. This kind of creativity is an excellent way to learn the nuances each team is focusing on. Training along with open dialogue allows each team to know exactly what to expect, and how to help.<\/p>\n

Automating security<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Many development teams see containers as a necessary tool to optimize workloads. MSPs even offer containers within a larger DevOps umbrella. Containers make the development pipeline much simpler. It also allows developers to have an extensive community to work with, as Kubernetes is open source and there are components throughout GitHub and other development libraries.<\/p>\n

As helpful as containers can be, they can also be a security risk with improper practices. It isn\u2019t realistic to manually monitoring every change in code, every feature update, every environment, and every networking request. Automating this process is critical. There are container security solutions providers,\u00a0like\u00a0Twistlock<\/a>, that can make container security easier. They can cover the entire deployment and development lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Automating security can provide peace of mind, but it shouldn\u2019t be the only focus. The entire development and deployment lifecycle may be safer, but your entire IT team needs to be aware of best security practices. Containers will drive innovation in your company if you\u2019re able to use them properly, and there\u2019s no excuse not to.<\/p>\n
