Organizations carrying out digital transformation initiatives put significant emphasis on
speed and efficiency–and with good reason. They want to get things done fast: create
prototypes in days, deliver new versions in weeks and conduct revisions constantly,
quickly, with the push of a button. They also want everything done correctly: complet-
ing and documenting all code fixes, moving the build along prescribed tracks, and mon-
itoring the work of everyone involved in the process.
For the most part, organizations have succeeded. By creating DevOps cultures, imple-
menting Continuous Delivery processes and migrating to new, more flexible develop-
ment platforms, they have slashed deployment times and raised the bar on quality.
But how securely are new apps moving through these new, fast and efficient pipelines?
In 90 percent of our engagements, we see a lack of alignment between security and
DevOps. Security is on digital transformation agendas, but it is not taking the priority
position it should in today’s DevOps processes.
