According to a recent survey by AppDirect, half of IT decision-makers are losing sleep over security. It's no surprise, given that 45% of respondents have experienced a security breach in the last year. The threat of vulnerabilities and cyber security attacks is on the rise, and the impact of an incident can be devastating. Having the right DevSecOps strategy helps, but getting the right toolchain in place is crucial.

This blog post dives into DevSecOps, the approach that blends DevOps, security, and operations into a cohesive security strategy. It focuses on the impact of DevSecOps on mobile software development and underscores the significance of prioritizing security from the get-go.

It’s no secret that the expectations for public sector digital services have changed significantly over the past few years; services need to be rolled out fast to ensure usable and secure software that can help agencies deliver on their mission. These expectations can be met by combining DevSecOps with codeless automated software testing.

DevOps has helped bring software development and IT from the more rigid Waterfall methodology to a more flexible Agile approach, enabling development teams to resolve issues faster, reduce code complexity, and accelerate product delivery. With so many benefits to DevOps, it's natural that a focus on security, using a similar approach, would be the next step for development teams wanting to secure the software development process.

API Developer Security Operations or API DevSecOps is a fusion of API development, security practices, and operational efficiency, and represents a holistic approach that navigates the intricate balance between innovation and protection. At its core, API DevSecOps redefines the way organizations create, deploy, and manage APIs, placing security considerations at the forefront without compromising on agility and collaboration.

Learn how incorporating security measures from the very beginning and fostering a sense of shared responsibility among teams can accelerate development cycles while reducing vulnerabilities.

Discover why DecSecOps is important for integrating security testing policies throughout software development and deployment.

Brain Reed from NowSecure explains the core ideas of the Mobile DevSecOps Framework: Learn how to quickly release high-quality mobile apps while simultaneously building in the necessary security and privacy.

DevSecOps is about ensuring security throughout the software cycle. While it offers many benefits, it also has its own challenges that you must understand. Performing AST (Application Security Testing) is a common and effective way to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an application and make it resistant to security threats. Traditionally, AST has been performed at the end of the software/application development process, more like an afterthought.
