The first time I watched a security vulnerability slip through our CI/CD pipeline and make it to production, I felt the same sinking feeling every engineer knows: that moment when you realize the system you trusted has a blind spot. It was 2019, and we had what we thought was a mature DevOps practice. Automated […]

DevSecOps: Integrating Security into DevOps – Part 2
Continuing from my previous blog, let’s dive deeper into the implementation of DevSecOps. Integrating Security into DevOps To implement DevSecOps, it is essential to integrate security into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle. The following are the key phases in DevOps and how to integrate security into each phase: DevSecOps Best Practices Here are some […]

Continuing from my previous blog, let’s explore some more advanced topics related to DevSecOps implementation. Shift-Left Testing One of the key concepts in DevSecOps is shift-left testing. This means shifting security testing as far left in the software development process as possible. This helps identify security issues early in the development process, which is much […]

In this continuation blog, we will explore some more advanced topics related to DevSecOps implementation. Threat Modeling Threat modeling is the process of identifying potential threats to an application or system and evaluating their impact. It helps identify potential security vulnerabilities and prioritize security activities. The following steps are involved in the threat modeling process: […]

Continuing from my previous blog, let’s explore some more advanced topics related to DevSecOps implementation. Identity and Access Management Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a critical aspect of DevSecOps. It involves managing user identities and controlling their access to resources based on their roles and responsibilities. IAM includes the following activities: Infrastructure as Code […]

The traditional approach to security—treating it as a final checkpoint before deployment—has become a liability in modern software delivery. After two decades of building enterprise systems, I’ve witnessed the painful evolution from “security as an afterthought” to “security as code.” In 2025, DevSecOps isn’t just a best practice; it’s a survival requirement for any organization […]
