Implementing security controls

DevSecOps programs ensure a proactive approach to security, making applications more resilient to attacks and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Let’s understand how implementing security controls can help in the context of DevSecOps:

• Early detection: Catching vulnerabilities early reduces the cost and complexity of remediation
• Continuous security: With security integrated at every step, the application is continuously checked for vulnerabilities, ensuring a robust security posture
• Shared responsibility: Security becomes everyone’s responsibility, not just a siloed task for a security team
• Source code repository: Use pre-commit or pre-receive hooks to enforce certain security checks even before the code is pushed:
  • CI/CD pipeline integration: Help in automating the different phases and connecting the relevant tools.
  • Build stage: Check dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  • Test stage: Run SAST and...
