The Role of DevSecOps in Modern Edge Systems D evSecOps evolved to address the need for building in security continuously across the software development lifecycle so that teams could deliver secure applications with speed and quality. Incorporating testing, triage, and risk mitigation earlier in the continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow prevents the time-intensive, and often costly, repercussions of making a fix post system deployment. This concept is part of " shifting left, " which moves security testing toward developers, enabling them to fix security issues in their code in near real time rather than " bolting on security " toward the end of the development. When development organizations code with security in mind from the outset, it's easier and less costly to catch and fix vulnerabilities before they go too far into production or after release. 12 DevSecOps in the IT domain implies that any infrastructure (software and hardware) can be created with a set of scripts and all the testing and integration can be automated. A typical embedded developer is used to having the hardware (aka target board) sitting right next to a development system. This worked fine for small software teams or if the software could be divided neatly into sub-components.
