Securing a DevOps environment is emerging to be an increasingly important concern for organizations across the globe. Even though developers recognize security as an  important factor but it is not always their top priority. They focus more on developing new capabilities and adding new features to existing products.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, security teams usually have limited DevOps knowledge or expertise. Often, DevOps adoption begins in an organization even before the security team gets involved. This drives unnecessary risk as the security vulnerabilities are not addressed  adequately.While developers want security, when it threatens to slow down the pace of developing new applications, undoubtedly security suffers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While adopting DevOps methodologies, security practices tend to get pushed aside in the hope of witnessing tremendous business growth. As per Deloitte\u2019s latest study on the state of DevOps, 71 percent of businesses feel that their teams currently lack the adequate working knowledge of DevSecOps practices.<\/a>

Integrating Security in DevOps<\/strong><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly, CIOs and DevOps leaders in organizations around the globe have realized that unless different teams in their organization break the silos and work together as a single unified team to integrate security into products right from the  beginning and throughout the development and operations cycles, they may never realize the complete potential of DevOps platform.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its high time security teams take the lead in integrating security into the DevOps processes right from day one before the team develops an entrenched resistance to change and adopt good practices. Easier said than done as both teams hardly work collaboratively.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do we ensure that the security teams better engage, and collaborate with their DevOps counterparts? In other words, how do organizations bring the DevOps and security teams into alignment  for better overall security?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps mentioned below to achieve true integration of DevOps and Security.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1.Enable Developers to do the Right Thing<\/strong><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, train the developers to follow secure coding practices and implement a self-service model for security capabilities. In an automated environment make it easy for the developers to do the right thing. The first step in the right direction can be providing the security policy as a code to ensure easy integration into the developers\u2019 automated processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2.Help Both The Teams Develop Requisite Skills to Get into the Driver\u2019s Seat<\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Effective collaboration can only be achieved with effective communication. While you train the developers\u2019 team in secure coding practices, it is equally important to help the security team gain knowledge about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
