DevSecOps: Security from the start

All organizations are susceptible to information security threats―from cybercrime, which was predicted to cost the world US$6 trillion in 2021, to human error, which accounts for 95% of cybersecurity breaches.

No matter the type of threat, your organization needs to protect itself by maintaining security controls across its stack. That’s where DevSecOps comes in. Security shouldn’t be an afterthought. DevSecOps means thinking about application and infrastructure security from the start, building it into every phase of the life cycle and stack―especially now that workloads are spread across environments.

The good news: 74% of organizations that responded to our 2021 “Kubernetes adoption, security, and market trends” survey have a DevSecOps initiative in place, and 25% have an advanced initiative, integrating and automating security throughout the life cycle.

If you haven’t implemented a DevSecOps plan―or if you’re looking for guidance―this is the Red Hat Shares issue for you. Learn how to adopt DevSecOps, its stages of maturity, why your DevSecOps initiative may be falling short, and more.
