Overview of DevSecOps Pipelines

DevSecOps, short for Development, Security, and Operations, is a philosophy that integrates security practices within the DevOps process. DevSecOps pipelines are designed to automate and embed security at every phase of the software development lifecycle. The key stages:

  1. Planning and Analysis

    • Identify security requirements and constraints.
    • Perform threat modeling to understand potential risks.
    • Define security policies and standards.
  2. Development and Coding

    • Implement secure coding practices.
    • Use pre-approved security libraries and components.
    • Conduct regular code reviews with a focus on security.
  3. Continuous Integration (CI)

    • Automate code scanning for vulnerabilities using Static Application Security Testing (SAST).
    • Run unit tests to ensure code quality.
    • Build artifacts securely and store them in a secure repository.
  4. Continuous Deployment (CD)

    • Deploy code to staging or production environments using automated pipelines.
    • Utilize Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) to test running applications.
    • Ensure secure configuration management.
  5. Monitoring and Operations

    • Monitor applications and infrastructure for security incidents.
    • Implement automated incident response.
    • Regularly update and patch systems.
  6. Feedback and Improvement

    • Collect feedback on security performance.
    • Continuously improve security practices and tools.
    • Foster a culture of security awareness and collaboration.

The DevSecOps pipeline emphasizes collaboration between development, security, and operations teams, ensuring that security is not a bottleneck but an enabler of faster and more reliable software delivery.
