DevSecOps: Embedding Security Before the First Commit

Security testing that happens after a product ships is not a security programme it is a remediation queue. The economics of finding a vulnerability in production are well documented: it costs orders of magnitude more to fix than if it had been caught at the code-review stage. DevSecOps is the operational model that closes that gap by making security a continuous, automated part of the development pipeline rather than a gate at the end of it.
