Do you know what it is and what are the advantages of DevSecOps for your business?

Have you heard about DevSecOps but have no idea what it means and how it can help your company's processes? 

It is a very useful security integration, which operates in a fully automated environment and integrated with the IT operations team. 

DevSecOps is short for development, security and operations, being a set of practices that help organizations with the protection of their software, infrastructure, applications and data, in order to offer safe and stable support. 

This is a natural evolution in the way development organizations approach process security. 

The DevSecOps integra a segurança de aplicação em processos e ferramentas Agile e DevOps, abordando os problemas na medida em que eles surgem, o que acaba sendo algo mais rápido e barato de se corrigir, em vez de realizar as correções na entrega final, que acabava encarecendo e dificultando a resolução dos problemas. 

Another positive point is that DevSecOps makes infrastructure and application security an overall shared responsibility, as the development and testing teams work seamlessly in an automated environment with the IT operations team.  

The cultura DevSecOps atua com a ideia de que desempenho, segurança e confiabilidade do produto é um problema do time todo, fazendo com que os padrões de código sejam mais confiáveis desde a sua primeira linha. 

What are the main benefits of DevSecOps? 

DevSecOps offers several benefits for the security and speed of infrastructure processes and software operations, check out: 

Good value for money 

When software is developed with DevSecOps, time is saved, costs are reduced, and the need to repeat processes to correct problems is minimized, unlike software developed in environments without the presence of DevSecops. 

Elaborate security 

DevSecOps operates with extremely elaborate security processes from the very beginning of the development cycle. Also, issues are checked as soon as they are identified and fixed before other dependencies and complications happen. 

It is also important to emphasize that as the teams work together and in an integrated manner, incidents are resolved more quickly. 

Agility and vulnerability fixes 

Vulnerability patching and management is done quickly and conveniently with DevSecOps as it integrates scanning and patching into the release cycle.  

Adaptive process 

DevSecOps is an adaptive process, ensuring that security is consistently applied across the entire software environment, even as it changes and meets new requirements.

Vericode uses the Atlassian platform and the consultants evaluate together with the client the types of applications and systems needed for each type of automation. 

Processes carried out by Vericode: 

Configuration Management 

Understanding the situation and recommending which settings need to be under version and change control; 

Continuous Planning 

Vericode works with the Continuous Planning solution, allowing alignment between IT team deliveries and business objectives in general, integrating all processes. 

Continuous Integration 

Continuous integration serves to minimize the time between the insertion of a defect and the correction, which reduces development deadlines, cost of rework and testing.  

Continuous Tests 

Vericode delivers continuous testing processes together with automated feedback, in addition to working with strategies that offer quality, agility and cost reduction. 

Continuous Release and Deployment 

Understanding of the problem situation and recommendations of release management models, more adequate to the client's methodology. 

SAFe 

Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) is a process orchestration model used by Vericode, for Agile development for complex and large-scale environments, in order to ensure team coordination and delivery of software products with quality and consistency. 

Atlassian 

Vericode supports the Agile transformation with the implementation of the SAFe 3.0 framework, to provide visibility, communication, transparency and team management in the software development process.
