Re-explain

DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security practices within the DevOps process. It emphasizes building security into every phase of the software development lifecycle rather than treating it as a separate phase at the end.
Key differences from traditional security:

  • Proactive vs Reactive: Security is considered from the beginning rather than as an afterthought
  • Automated vs Manual: Security checks are automated and integrated into CI/CD pipelines
  • Collaborative vs Siloed: Security teams work closely with development and operations teams
  • Continuous vs Point-in-time: Security monitoring and testing happen continuously rather than at specific checkpoints
  • Shared Responsibility: Everyone is responsible for security, not just the security team
    Traditional security often creates bottlenecks and friction, while DevSecOps enables faster, more secure software delivery.
