Although security has always been a priority for developers, new technologies have made it one of the most prominent aspects of DevOps.  This has resulted in the coined term “DevSecOps”, with many companies offering new “DevSecOps platforms.”  With hackers developing new ways to infiltrate your systems, security must be embedded in every aspect of development.  These platforms can help achieve a secure, scalable environment for your business needs, but they must also implement standardized security practices.  Standardizing security policies across your organization ensures consistency and traceability, helping your team stay ahead of threats.
