Security Testing with DevSecOps
Overview:
As cyber threats continue to grow, integrating security testing into the software development process (DevSecOps) is becoming essential. Security is no longer an afterthought but a priority from the very beginning. Security testing tools now detect vulnerabilities early, enabling teams to address issues before the product is deployed.
Key Trends:
- Automated security testing: Tools that automatically scan for vulnerabilities during the development cycle, reducing risks and improving security posture.
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines: Security tools are now integrated with DevOps pipelines to ensure continuous security checks.
- Security testing in agile workflows: Security testing is performed iteratively as part of Agile sprints, ensuring that security risks are identified and addressed in real time.
Example Tools:
- OWASP ZAP (Automated security scanning)
- Snyk (Vulnerability detection)
- Veracode (Security testing integration)
