Security is often treated as an afterthought in software development, but with DevSecOps, security is embedded into every stage of the DevOps lifecycle. This article covers how to integrate security best practices into CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and API management to protect applications from vulnerabilities.
🛡️ Automated security scanning in CI/CD to detect vulnerabilities early
🔍 Implementing policy-as-code to enforce compliance at the infrastructure level
🔑 Using Kong API Gateway for secure authentication and rate limiting
💡 Zero-trust architecture and IAM (Identity & Access Management) policies
By incorporating security into DevOps workflows, teams can reduce risk, meet compliance requirements, and safeguard applications without slowing down development.
