If it's true that we can now automate more than ever, then it's also true that we can monitor, test, and release our code more often. To keep our agility and speed of release, we must be able to prove that we are making changes in a secure fashion, and not introducing new vulnerabilities. That means our security compliance game needs to step up in parity with the speed of release. This is what SecDevOps is all about.
To reach the pace of innovation our organizations strive for, we must automate security compliance with scanning tools and testing strategies, and apply guard rails. With the tools and capabilities we have now, we can embed these things into our automation processes so we are far more on top of security at all layers.
