What ’ s the relationship between DevOps , SecOps and value ? It ’ s all about value

WRITTEN BY : LAURA BERRILL

DevOps has now entered its second decade and with this , the focus has shifted beyond product delivery . It ’ s no longer about ‘ Dev ’ and ‘ Ops ’, but about removing the constraints which exist between a business and its customers and delivering real value . Additionally , DevSecOps will continue to evolve alongside these processes .

So what ’ s next as DevOps and alongside it , DevSecOps evolve ? Firstly , as companies accelerate their digital transformations , security and DevSecOps will be more critical than ever and Dev and Ops will continue to be disrupted by analytics , AI and machine learning . Because of this , organisations will focus more tightly on value and value stream management .
Self-responsibility for security Security as ever , is right up there in terms of priorities and cloud-native security will rise higher on the agenda for CISOs as organisations embrace Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies . It ’ s quite a shift to embed security within DevOps but it is needed . As businesses move to the cloud to deliver new features quickly , security teams have to embrace new tools and processes to ensure deployments are safe and well . This could mean that more application teams will take responsibility for their own security , with help from the professional security teams .
