Integrating security into the development process

Integrating security into the development process is critical for ensuring that cloud-native applications are developed with security in mind from the outset. This approach, often referred to as “shift-left” security, involves incorporating security considerations and practices throughout the entire development life cycle, from design and development to deployment and maintenance.

By integrating security early in the development process, developers can identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities and proactively address them, rather than trying to fix them after the application is already deployed. This can save time and resources, as well as reduce the risk of security breaches and data loss.

Integrating security into the development process can also help to foster a culture of security awareness and responsibility within development teams, promoting a shared understanding of security risks and best practices...
