DevOps and Security: Fighting factions or fabulous friends?

DevOps processes focus on being  agile, ahead of the game and able to deliver innovative software quickly and efficiently.

Traditional software security processes prioritise thoroughness over agility and are often implemented as blocking gates  at the last stages of software delivery. Due to this, these approach are often viewed as being in competition.

It doesn't have to be this way. More and more security breaches are uncovered every week, and it has become vitally important that security and DevOps work together to integrate and streamline delivery Read more click here

  1. This is a really thoughtful and valuable discussion — thank you for addressing the often-overlooked tension between DevOps and security in such a balanced way. I especially appreciated how you didn’t just frame it as a conflict, but explored why these worlds sometimes clash and, more importantly, how they can collaborate effectively. The emphasis on communication, shared responsibility, and early integration of security practices into the development pipeline feels very realistic and practical for teams trying to move beyond siloed mindsets. Your examples about shifting left with security checks, using automation to enforce compliance, and fostering mutual understanding between developers and security professionals helped turn what could have been an abstract topic into something tangible and actionable. One suggestion for future posts might be a short case study showing how a real team made this transition successfully — that would add even more depth and inspiration. Overall, this was a grounded and encouraging read for anyone working to build secure and agile systems — thanks again for sharing!

  2. This is a thoughtful discussion on how DevOps and security need to work together rather than in silos. In modern software delivery, integrating security practices early in the development lifecycle — often referred to as DevSecOps — helps teams detect vulnerabilities sooner, automate compliance checks, and build more resilient systems without slowing down delivery. Collaboration between development, operations, and security teams ensures that security becomes a shared responsibility, improving both agility and risk management. Bringing security into the DevOps workflow with automated testing, scanning, and policy enforcement makes deployments faster and safer.

DevSecOps: Paradigm shifts are messy, but someone’s got to take the lead

A perfect storm of factors brewing in the dev, ops, and security worlds have created a window of opportunity to embed security into the application delivery lifecycle, in a needle-moving kind of way. However, security teams need to be the ones driving the DevSecOps charge or that needle will barely wobble. Given how many security practitioners spend their days putting out fires, adding “DevSecOps evangelist” to their job description is more likely to elicit groans than spur the desire to innovate application security. As understandable as that may be, unless security teams can create the groundswell needed for DevSecOps to stick, then another paradigm shift in computing will occur in which security gets Read More Click Here Reference:- This article was published on BestDevOps.com
