FINAL WORD
Stephen Gillies , APAC Technology Evangelist , Fastly fast and react to market changes and opportunities in real-time . In all likelihood , a secure DevOps ( also sometimes called a DevSecOps ) approach and tooling will be needed to remove friction from the developer experience .
Secure DevOps is a culture , movement and practice that enables collaboration between development , operations and security teams throughout the entire software delivery lifecycle , from design and development to production support . time and that clearly lays out key steps and milestones , which are tracked and reported . They also work to get existing staff interested in the journey and onboard for the ride , with consistent top down communication which encourages feedback .
In short , they put in considerable effort to become employers of choice . It is not something that can be achieved overnight or with the deployment of a single software tool .
Best practices and systems
Being attractive to ‘ hunter ’ developers may necessitate a tooling review , with the goal of achieving an integrated , consolidated approach to the way applications are created , tested , deployed , managed and secured . Developers want to work in an environment where automation allows them to move
It is often encoded into software tools as a series of guardrails and automations that streamline checks and balances throughout the lifecycle , while ensuring that none of these checks become obstructive . That is , they complement innovation rather than work against it .
Visibility of what is happening throughout the process is also crucial . Developers appreciate having a clear view of what their code and product are doing . Giving developers a tool that can help strengthen both their code and their security mindset is a win-win .
If employers can ’ t create an environment for secure DevOps to be successful ; that is inclusive of different individuals ’ opinions on how to move forward ; and where innovation and agile development is valued ; their ability to compete for development talent will be severely diminished .
Once developers sense a legacy environment and legacy thinking , they will simply look elsewhere for an environment that looks forward – and move on . p
