Hence, it has become a real necessity to carry out IT security strategies and to hire specialised professionals. <\/span><b>In this article we are going to talk about DevSecOps and its importance in cybersecurity.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is DevSecOps?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>DevSecOps or SecDevOps is a software development and security philosophy.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which underlines the importance of IT security in all software development life cycles (SDLC); from the beginning to the end of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, DevSecOps serves to <\/span><b>automate security processes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is integrated with those of communication and scalability in software development, with the aim of detecting possible risks before implementing it. This is a very interesting methodology, as it results in a more secure and efficient application or computer system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, in DevSecOps, two very important processes are evident:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Security as code:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In other words, security is addressed throughout the entire software development process.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Infrastructure as code:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All tools used for development operations (or DevOps) that serve to update the software infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DevSecOps and DevOps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, DevOps refers to all IT activities or tools related to <\/span><b>development and operations.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The aim is to improve the performance and productivity of the software, as well as its responsiveness to possible changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is the difference between DevOps and DevSecOps? Well, the latter deals with preserving the security of the previous actions, in an automated way as well; introducing some new processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>DevSecOps aims for effective and enforced IT security throughout the entire process.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Therefore, this methodology is based on two fundamental pillars: on the one hand, to promote continuous delivery (CD); on the other hand, to carry out continuous integration or CI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of implementing DevSecOps or SecDevOps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why in this article we wanted to talk about DevSecOps and its importance in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immune.institute\/en\/que-se-necesita-para-trabajar-en-ciberseguridad\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cybersecurity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It not only implements greater security in software solutions and their operations, but also increases the speed and agility of their development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the fact is that <\/span><b>the benefits of implementing DevSecOps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are many:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify and respond early to cyber-attacks or potential cyber-security breaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasing greater security in software design.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make teams more agile, faster and with better communication.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have software that can quickly adapt to change.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why work in cybersecurity?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As can be seen, <\/span><b>cybersecurity is essential for businesses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
