Abstract

DevSecOps, a cultural and technical movement that integrates security practices into the DevOps methodology, represents a significant shift in how organizations manage IT development and operations. This paper explores the principles, practices, and benefits of DevSecOps, emphasizing the importance of embedding security at every stage of the software development lifecycle. Traditionally, security has been a separate, often final step in the development process, leading to vulnerabilities and delays. DevSecOps addresses this by making security a shared responsibility among all team members, from developers to operations to security professionals. Through continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, automated security testing, and proactive threat modeling, DevSecOps aims to create secure, high-quality software more efficiently. The paper reviews case studies and real-world implementations, demonstrating how organizations have successfully adopted DevSecOps to enhance their security posture and operational agility. Additionally, the study discusses the challenges and best practices associated with implementing DevSecOps, including cultural shifts, tooling, and training. By highlighting the strategic value of integrating security into the development process, this research underscores the critical role of DevSecOps in building resilient, secure, and scalable IT systems in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.
