Keep reading for an overview of what ITOps, SecOps, and DevOps mean and how they compare. We'll also explain where DevSecOps fits into the conversation - and why you shouldn't worry so much about defining these terms perfectly as you should about finding ways to operationalize collaboration between your various teams.
Traditionally, most organizations have had siloed departments wherein teams’ activities are highly separated and the objectives within organizational structures are divided.
