What is DevSecOps?

The practice of integrating security into every stage of the DevOps lifecycle — from design to deployment to runtime.

Full explanation

Traditional security sits at the end of the development cycle (pre-release audit). DevSecOps embeds security throughout: threat modeling at design, SAST in CI, DAST in staging, SCA on every dependency change, IaC scanning on infra changes, continuous runtime monitoring. The goal: no bottleneck, no afterthought.

Example

A team's CI pipeline runs Securie on every pull request. Findings block merge for critical classes. The security team is upstream, not downstream.

FAQ

Is DevSecOps just 'run Snyk in CI'?

No — that is one small component. DevSecOps is a culture + practice change where security is a shared responsibility, not a gate at the end.
