Description
Agile DevSecOps is a modern approach to software development that integrates agile methodologies with development, security, and operations practices. It emphasizes collaboration between cross-functional teams to deliver secure, high-quality software quickly and efficiently. By incorporating security measures throughout the development lifecycle, rather than as an afterthought, Agile DevSecOps ensures that potential vulnerabilities are addressed early. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines automate testing and deployment, enhancing speed and reliability. This approach fosters a culture of shared responsibility for security and quality, enabling teams to adapt to changing requirements and deliver value to users rapidly. Agile DevSecOps ultimately bridges the gap between development, security, and operations, promoting a seamless and secure software delivery process.
