What is Dev SecOps? A Guide from Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger describes DevSecOps as the integration of security into every stage of the software development lifecycle, building on DevOps by adding security to the development and operations pipeline rather than treating it as an afterthought. The guide says the approach relies on software automation and CI/CD to give developers fast feedback on vulnerabilities, while noting that manual penetration testing is still required for advanced vulnerabilities and that a worldwide skills shortage makes it hard to carry out at scale.
Key Takeaway: The source states that automated scanning catches the most critical bugs but lacks the depth of manual testing, and that a worldwide skills shortage makes penetration testing difficult to carry out at scale - so organizations with many applications must decide which ones get the limited manual testing they can actually staff.
