Strategically, security testing tools blend into a DevOps workflow, essentially forming a DevSecOps model while improving production efficiency and minimizing software development costs. Such tools allow you to include testing and remediation of potential vulnerabilities throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) as well as post-delivery Run & Maintain phases. Enabling a DevSecOps model ensures developers to adopt a secured development and delivery cycle without lagging productivity and attributing ‘security’ at the bottom of the SDLC.
In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how Microservices are vulnerable and susceptible to attack vectors, and how implementing a DevSecOps model is always a sensible approach to ensure security best practices.
