Build Safer Software, Faster.
Welcome to the interactive guide to DevSecOps. Discover how integrating Development, Security, and Operations from the start creates more secure and reliable applications for everyone.
Start ExploringThe Problem with the Old Way
To understand why DevSecOps is so important, let's compare the traditional way of building software with the modern, integrated approach. Security used to be an afterthought, leading to costly delays and risks. DevSecOps makes it a shared responsibility from day one.
The Old Way: Security at the End
Plan & Develop
Focus is entirely on features.
Test Functionality
"Does it work as expected?"
Security "Gate"
A late, slow, manual check.
Result:
- High cost to fix late-stage bugs
- Major release delays
- Friction between teams
- Higher risk of security breaches
The DevSecOps Way: Security Throughout
Plan & Develop Securely
Security is built-in from the start.
Automated Testing
Continuous security & function tests.
Deploy & Monitor
Fast release with continuous monitoring.
Result:
- Lower cost by catching issues early
- Faster, more predictable releases
- Collaborative, happier teams
- Lower risk and safer software
The Core Concepts: Dev, Sec, and Ops
DevSecOps succeeds by breaking down the walls between three critical functions. In this model, they are not separate teams working in sequence, but integrated partners with a shared goal: delivering secure, high-quality software.
Development
The creators who design, code, and build the software's features and functionality.
Security
The protectors whose expertise and tools are woven into the entire process to prevent vulnerabilities.
Operations
The maintainers who deploy, run, and monitor the software to ensure it's reliable and available for users.
The Magic is in the Middle!
DevSecOps brings these three roles together, creating a culture of shared responsibility where security is everyone's job, not just one team's problem.
Key Principles in Action
DevSecOps is guided by several powerful ideas that transform how software is built. This diagram shows how these principles apply across the software development lifecycle. Click on a stage to learn more.

The Payoffs: Why It's Worth It
Adopting DevSecOps isn't just about better security; it creates a ripple effect of positive outcomes across the board, from saving money to building happier, more effective teams.
Safer Software
Reduces security flaws by building security in, not bolting it on.
Faster Delivery
Automation and early feedback prevent security from being a bottleneck.
Cost Savings
Fixing issues early is exponentially cheaper than fixing them in production.
Better Teamwork
Shared goals reduce friction and foster a collaborative culture.
