Solving the AppSec Puzzle: Connecting AppSec to Your DevOps Pipeline Whitepaper
Whether your organisation is well-established in its DevOps journey or just starting, integrating application security into the SDLC is crucial. Mature DevOps teams focus on refining processes and tools to incorporate security seamlessly. This approach avoids disrupting the rapid pace of development. Conversely, teams in the early stages of DevOps adoption must build security into their development pipelines from the ground up.
Integrating application security (AppSec) into your software development life cycle (SDLC) and DevOps pipeline is increasingly important. Continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) workflows characterise today’s development environment. With AppSec integration, security teams establish gates at multiple stages. This helps you avoid late-stage testing and the rework that follows. Late-stage testing and development can delay releases or allow risks into production. This approach is known as “shifting left” or, increasingly, “shifting everywhere.”
True AppSec integration requires combining and connecting elements, systems, and processes. Teams must merge disparate components into a unified system. This enables the smooth flow of information, functionalities, or resources. Additionally, integration ensures these elements fit naturally into established workflows. This prevents teams from creating new workflows that disrupt operations.
In software development and application security, integration plays a crucial role in achieving business objectives. These include mitigating risks that threaten sensitive data, supporting compliance initiatives, and elevating efficiency standards during development, testing, and deployment.
This whitepaper from Synopsys covers security as a business driver, complex software challenges, DevSecOps obstacles, and security integration strategies.
