DevSecOps ensures security is integrated at every phase of the DevOps lifecycle—planning, coding, building, testing, releasing, deploying, operating, and monitoring. It emphasizes automation, collaboration, and enforcement to bridge development, security, and operations. Learn more:
The SDLC is a framework that defines the processes and phases involved in software development, including:
- Planning 📝
- Analysis 📊
- Design 🎨
- Implementation 💻
- Testing 🧪
- Deployment 🚀
- Maintenance 🔄
SSDLC integrates security practices into each phase of the SDLC. It ensures vulnerabilities are addressed early, reducing risks and costs. Key practices include:
- Threat Modeling during planning and design.
- Static Analysis during development.
- Dynamic Testing before deployment.
The SSDLC augments the SDLC by embedding security checks at every stage. This alignment ensures that security becomes a fundamental part of the development process rather than an afterthought, fostering secure and high-quality software.
Shift-Left SSDLC refers to integrating security and quality assurance (QA) earlier in the software development process—shifting activities typically done later, such as testing and security checks, to earlier phases like planning and coding.
By addressing issues earlier:
- Cost savings: Fixing vulnerabilities in the design phase is cheaper than post-deployment.
- Improved software quality: Early detection enhances the overall reliability and security of the software.
- Faster delivery: Reduced rework shortens development cycles.
- Early Threat Modeling: Incorporate tools like ThreatSpec to identify potential risks during planning.
- Pre-Commit Hooks: Use tools like Git-Secrets to prevent sensitive data from being committed.
- Static Code Analysis: Implement tools like Semgrep during development.
- Collaborative Development: Foster teamwork between developers, QA, and security teams.
- Continuous Feedback Loops: Use CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and provide feedback.
