Tightening Security by Shifting Left
The growing need for a secure software development lifecycle has prompted a discussion around the concept of “shift left.” Security has been treated at the end of the development cycle for decades, and software development has been mostly linearly planned. As cloud-native applications evolve and users demand real-time and 24/7 software services, scheduling security and testing at the end of the development cycle can create significant development, operational, and cost implications.
