Devsecops in Practice: How Integrating Security into CI/CD Pipelines Changes the Way We Engineer Software

The Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD), which was rapidly ratified by the software engineering development industry, turned into a fast-paced process, causing new insecurity threat to be generated. This paper therefore, explains how integrating security into CI/CD pipelines changes the way we engineer software through Development Security Operations (DevSecOps). Integrating security into CI/CD pipelines via DevSecOps fundamentally transforms software engineering by shifting security from a late-stage bottleneck to an intrinsic, automated part of the entire development lifecycle, promoting early vulnerability detection, reducing costs and risks, fostering a collaborative culture, and ultimately enabling faster delivery of inherently more secure software.
