What is DevSecOps?
Embracing the evolution of DevOps, DevSecOps emerges as a vital addition. This innovative approach integrates security seamlessly into the core of development and operations, emphasising the incorporation of security measures (and automation where feasible) across essential processes. Introducing DevSecOps v2.0, the most recent release by the DevOps Institute. This updated version offers enhanced insights, refined best practices, and a heightened focus on delving into and comprehending the contemporary 'cyber threat landscape'.
Why is security important in DevOps?
Empowering organisations to enhance efficiency in development and operations, DevOps revolutionises processes. Yet, conventional security protocols often lag behind this rapid pace, exposing DevOps users and their creations to vulnerabilities. DevSecOps addresses this challenge by accelerating security measures and elevating their significance.
How does DevSecOps work?
Operating at the intersection of security and DevOps methodologies, DevSecOps harmonies security protocols with established DevOps practices. This approach fosters a continuous 'security as code' ethos, embedding security checks, assessments, and controls within code and infrastructure workflows. Moreover, it promotes a culture of collaboration, open communication, and collective accountability towards ensuring robust security measures.
What is a DevSecOps Engineer?
The role of DevSecOps professionals involves supervising the deployment and administration of DevSecOps practices. They select suitable security tools and software for automation, ensuring all team members are well-versed in optimising security measures.
How can DevSecOps benefit businesses?
Traditional security approaches in DevOps often lead to bottlenecks, hindering critical workflows and causing release delays. DevSecOps eliminates these bottlenecks by prioritising security at every stage.
This approach not only enhances the safety of DevOps solutions but also maintains efficiency without significant interruptions.
What do I need to know about the DevSecOps examination?
The DevSecOps Foundation (DSOF) test is a closed-book assessment comprising 40 multiple-choice queries. The exam duration is 60 minutes (with an extra 25 minutes for non-native English speakers). A minimum score of 65% is required to pass the exam.
What does the DevSecOps certification path look like?
While DevSecOps lacks a rigid certification route, it is advisable to explore the methodology through a recognised training institution.
How valuable is DevSecOps training?
As per Neuvoo, individuals holding DevSecOps certifications have the potential to earn salaries ranging from $70,000 to $205,000. TotalJobs reports that DevSecOps professionals in the UK can earn from £30,000 to exceeding £150,000. Earnings are influenced by the candidate's position, geographical location, and level of expertise.
What other frameworks can complement DevSecOps?
