Platform Approach to Shift Everywhere in DevOps

This whitepaper presents a comprehensive guide on achieving DevSecOps through a platform approach to 'Shift Everywhere' in DevOps. It outlines the critical need for integration and automation in application security to address the growing risks associated with software development. The document discusses the current security landscape within DevOps, highlighting statistics indicating a significant percentage of security breaches linked to vulnerable applications. It emphasizes the importance of balancing speed and security, advocating for cross-functional collaboration to enhance security without hindering developer productivity. The whitepaper introduces the concept of 'Shift Everywhere,' which encourages embedding security testing throughout the development lifecycle rather than relegating it to the final stages. This approach aims to facilitate continuous security feedback and improve the overall security posture of applications. Additionally, it details various application security testing methodologies and the necessity of integrating these practices into development tools to effectively manage vulnerabilities in modern software environments.
