How to boost agile DevSecOps
Find out why true agility goes deeper than process and how a cultural shift built on trust, communication and shared responsibility is your best chance at delivering real DevSecOps success
Many organisations aspire to implement agile DevSecOps. The benefits are clear: if you manage to unite development, security and operations into a cohesive process, security is finally treated as a shared responsibility in the organisation, rather than a final checkpoint. Armed with this ambition, many teams often race to embed agile development methodologies into their processes hoping that - eventually - DevOps and Security will integrate.
However, even after adopting agile practices, many organisations struggle to bring true agility in DevSecOps to fruition. Why is that?
The answer is simple: agility goes beyond just implementing a secure software development process or adopting SCRUM. True agility requires a cultural shift: one that embraces consistent communication that delivers change competently while being compassionate and transparent in tone. While team restructurings and agile transformations can be executed relatively easily, transforming team culture takes sustained effort, trust-building and patience. Without this cultural evolution, even the most carefully executed agile transformation will struggle to deliver a successful transition to agile DevSecOps.
