DevSecOps, which stands for development, security, and operations, integrates security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. DevSecOps methodology emphasizes collaboration among development, security, and operations teams to ensure security is a shared responsibility.
𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗢𝗽𝘀
𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 – The Plan phase is the least automated phase of DevSecOps, involving collaboration, discussion, review, and strategy of security analysis. Teams should perform a security analysis and create a plan that outlines where, how, and when security testing will be done.
𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 – The Code phase focuses on integrating security practices seamlessly into the coding process to ensure high-quality, secure software from the outset.
𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 – The Build phase focuses on automated security analysis against the build output artifact. Important security practices include software component analysis (SCA), static application software testing (SAST), and unit tests. Tools can be plugged into an existing CI/CD pipeline to automate these tests.
𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 – The test phase uses dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools to detect live application flows like user authentication, authorization, SQL injection, and API-related endpoints. The security-focused DAST analyzes an application against a list of known high-severity issues, such as those listed in the OWASP Top 10.
𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆 & 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 – The Release phase involves deploying applications into production, ensuring that security measures are integrated into the release process such as Infrastructure security testing, Secure IaC, environment hardening, etc
𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 – The Monitoring phase ensures that applications and infrastructure are not only performing optimally but also protected against threats by including continuous security monitoring, log management and analysis, incident response integration etc
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 – The Respond Phase involves managing and mitigating security incidents that arise after a vulnerability or threat has been identified. Recovery phase focuses on ensuring a swift, effective, and coordinated response to security incidents, helping organizations minimize damage and recover quickly.
