DevOps methodologies were created to develop applications and services faster to meet user demands. However, earlier DevOps processes prioritized agility over security, leading to security flaws in applications.

DevOps teams often prioritize fast delivery over quality, but software quality, especially in terms of security, is crucial. Delaying security checks until the end of the software lifecycle can lead to significant delays and difficulties in resolving vulnerabilities. Using a DevSecOps framework and the right tools can help identify and remediate vulnerabilities early on and reduce software rollout delays.

Failing to use effective tools and training can lead to misidentified vulnerabilities and discouraged teams. Investing in DevOps security practices can benefit organizations in both technical and non-technical ways.

It's never too late to integrate necessary DevOps security checks into existing workflows and deliver better and safer code at the speed of business.
