DevSecOps Consulting Services

Before agile methodologies emerged, software developers would submit requests to IT for infrastructure and often wait days (or even weeks) for their servers. Today, cloud infrastructure provisioning is fully automated, significantly enhancing development productivity and accelerating time to market. 

However, going fast isn’t enough. Accuracy still matters. And this increase in velocity must be coupled with robust security practices to ensure potential flaws do not go unnoticed.

In this fast-paced environment, post-development security reviews of new software versions and cloud infrastructure configurations can create bottlenecks. Technology keeps moving. Even when issues are identified, there often isn't enough time to address them properly before the next version or feature is released. 

To meet customer demands, organizations must maintain a fast-paced environment for scaling and growth. Security needs to be integrated from the start, with practices that adapt to the development lifecycle. With security as a focus, this refined approach ensures potential issues are identified promptly and addressed effectively.

With DevSecOps, security is integrated early in the development cycle, significantly reducing risks. Integrating code analysis tools and automated tests earlier in the process can lead to better identification and elimination of security flaws. And, as the software reaches the deployment stage, everything works smoothly as anticipated. 

Security is not an add-on; it’s an essential design feature. With the increasing frequency of cyber threats and stricter regulations, integrating security into DevOps has become a necessity, not an option.

The reality is there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, which is where GAP expertise becomes a key partner. DevSecOps requires advanced knowledge across a range of technologies, including:

• Continuous integration and delivery pipelines
• Secure coding techniques
• Static application security testing (SAST)
• Dynamic application security testing (DAST) 
• Supply chain security, risk and vulnerability management
• Security compliance frameworks

As things move fast, it can be hard to stay up-to-date while learning it all on your own. GAP is a trusted solutions partner that provides expertise in DevOps and security practices, making it invaluable for developing a strategic cloud architecture plan that can maintain workflows and reduce development time, while improving application and data security.
