SecOps (Security and IT Operations): The union for uninterrupted continuity and advanced resilience

99% of security vulnerabilities are a result of misaligned practices within an organization. 79% of companies that experienced a single breach have revealed that a normal patch or configuration in their development processes could have prevented the incident.

The above stats speak volumes on the disjoint daily practices between development, operations, and security teams that significantly deter agility, time to market, and effective progress. More often than not, operational teams press hard to bring software out to the market and fulfill business objectives while development teams envision delivering the perfect piece of code to shove off their ownerships.

Just 15% of organizations believe that their DevOps adoption is completely matured and secure

Average Security Operations Center receives approximately 10,000 alerts per day alone.

Organizations using AI and security automation detected & contained breaches 27% faster.

A third complication arises when security operations teams and engineers working on completely different solutions, platforms, and workflows scan the entire code and stall key modules running core systems due to newfound vulnerabilities. If this sounds like a mess, the solution is simple: integrate development, operations, and security teams into one magnanimous, collaborative workflow a.k.a. DevSecOps.

DevSecOps combines two factions, people, processes, and methodologies highly popular within the IT industry today: DevOps and SecOps. While the former entitles the alignment of a firm’s software, app, solution development and Operations teams, the latter enforces close collaboration between IT security and IT operations.

Why SecOps and what is SecOps on Cloud (Cloud SecOps)?

Icon for Security Operations

SecOps (Security Operations) introduces security by design that allows Operations teams and developers to be aware of vulnerability management at every step of the process. This allows periodic asset monitoring, assessments, compliance audits, threat identification and remediation planning across all enterprise IT systems, platforms, applications, software, VMs, and cloud environments. While the continual process output plus security check might appear to delay go-to-market timelines and productivity, in reality, they shield enterprises from multiple iterations, compliance-related risks, and massive breaches. The advantages far outweigh the negatives.

SecOps - FAQs

  • What is SecOps?

    -

    SecOps or SecurityOps is the consolidation of processes, methodologies, frameworks, workflows, people, resources, and tools in operations and security to enable a collaborative environment. Every operational process or development process is continually and automatically monitored by cutting-edge security tools to prevent inconsistencies or large threat incidents in later stages.

  • How is SecOps implemented?

    -

    SecOps is both a practice and a bouquet of solutions. To properly implement a SecOps methodology, first, the needs and objectives of security and operation teams are aligned. Secondly, universal solutions are onboarded to facilitate collaborative workflows followed by the integration of security tools and technologies with all operational processes for periodic assessments, monitoring, and threat management.

  • What is the difference between DevOps and SecOps?

    -

    DevOps entitles the consolidation of Development and Operations workflows to ensure a collaborative process with aligned needs. SecOps is the unification of Security and Operations to ensure security management is at the heart of every organizational process. DevSecOps combines DevOps and SecOps.i.e. a universal collaboration between Development, Operations, and Security teams.

  • What are DevSecOps tools?

    -

    Some common DevSecOps tools include SonarQube, Splunk, Nessus, Sonatype, Ansible Saltstack, Metasploit, Splunk
