Continuous Security

Continuous Security requires three elements:

• A strong security-focus for the company's culture

• Adopting the latest security recommended practices to implement and operate infrastructure.

• Software delivery that is focused on security

Combined with the three principles of shifting left, automation, and continuous improvement, gives a good view of security in DevOps.

In a Security DevOps culture, awareness and building security principles should be at the heart of a companies design strategy.

The costs of a security breach is not just the loss of sales or trust in the company.

Continuous Operations can reduce or eliminate the need for planned downtime. The user should never need to know that upgrades have occurred!

The right balance between innovation (speed) and business continuity (control) is what DevOps is trying to achieve.
