Kubiya.ai announces the launch of its DevOps Digital Agents.
DevSecOps is quickly gaining support and traction, within and beyond information security teams. In fact, 70% of respondents believe their culture can embrace the change needed to fuse Security and DevOps, according to a new survey of 80 security professionals by Aqua Security.
“DevSecOps provides the opportunity to re-work application security processes to align with the rise of cloud-native application development and a much more security-minded business culture,” said Alan Shimel, CEO of Media Ops, DevOps focused events and online publisher. “Given how new and transformative the discipline of DevSecOps is, I was pleased to learn that survey participants are confident they have the funds, talent and culture in place needed to successfully implement it.”
DevSecOps is maturing in a culture where multiple stakeholders are highly motivated to do it right
The main difference between cybersecurity ten years ago and today is that now, it’s becoming everyone’s job to help minimize threats, not just members of the information security team. DevSecOps in particular is an emerging discipline that, despite the cybersecurity skills shortage and its inherent complexity, is poised to thrive because it relies on shift-left security automation to enable much of the execution as part of the build process.
It's still early days, but right now, DevSecOps is maturing in a culture where multiple stakeholders are highly motivated to do it right.
Key findings from the survey include:
■ 57% believe they have the human and financial resources in place to implement DevSecOps
■ 62% reported they currently had either a formal or informal DevSecOps team in-house
■ 47% reported they are fairly or very mature in their implementation of DevSecOps for application security; another 39% ranked themselves as maturing
When asked to rank the three most important elements of DevSecOps, respondents ranked:
■ Applying security across the app lifecycle (61%)
■ Automating application security controls (52%)
■ Involving DevOps in security processes (43%)
Additionally, respondents were asked about budget trends, with 76% of the sample reporting their application security budget has increased over the past five years, 25% reporting it went up between 10-30%, and 14% sharing that it went up by more than 40%.
While this survey differs from our 2017 Container Security in the Enterprise Survey, when viewed chronologically, the data sets suggest that there is a rapid progression of DevSecOps. Last year, only 13% of a similar pool of respondents reported they had a DevSecOps team in place; less than a year later, that number has skyrocketed to 62%.
