Opsera gathers data across all your security, quality, and development tools. This gives you a unified view to identify weaknesses, track progress, and measure results.

With Opsera, you can find and fix security vulnerabilities early, ensure code quality from the start, and continuously monitor compliance with regulations. It’s end-to-end visibility for secure, high-quality software that meets all your requirements.

Benefits of Opsera’s DevSecOps Platform

Balance speed and quality

DevOps aims for fast delivery but still needs consistent quality and stability. Governance sets the guardrails for achieving both.

Balance speed and quality
Manage risk and compliance

Manage risk and compliance

Without guidance, rapid software deployment can introduce security vulnerabilities or breach regulations. Governance establishes checks and balances to mitigate these risks.

Optimize resources and costs

Efficient use of tools and infrastructure is crucial in DevOps. Governance defines processes for resource allocation and optimizes spending.

Optimize resources and costs
Promote collaboration

Promote collaboration

DevOps thrives on close collaboration between Dev and Ops teams. Governance fosters shared goals and a unified approach.

DevSecOps Frequently Asked Questions

What is DevOps governance?

DevOps governance is essentially the structure and processes that provide guidance and oversight for how DevOps teams operate. It helps ensure your teams deliver software quickly and reliably, while managing risks and maintaining compliance with Implementation.

DevOps governance isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires tailoring and adaptation to fit your specific organizational needs and cultural context. The key is to find the right balance between control and agility, ensuring proper guidance without hindering the DevOps spirit of collaboration and fast pace.‍

  • Policies and standards: These define best practices for code development, testing, deployment, and infrastructure management.
  • Tools and automation: Governance leverages automation tools to enforce policies, streamline processes, and monitor compliance.
  • Metrics and measurement: Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) helps assess the effectiveness of governance practices and identify areas for improvement.
  • Roles and responsibilities: Clearly defined roles ensure accountability and smooth collaboration within the DevOps team.

  • Reduced risks and errors: Strong governance minimizes security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and costly mistakes.
  • Improved efficiency and speed: Streamlined processes and automation boost developer productivity and software delivery times.
  • Enhanced collaboration and communication: Shared understanding of expectations and goals fosters better teamwork.
  • Greater control and transparency: Well-defined governance provides visibility into processes and facilitates informed decision-making.

DevOps security, also known as DevSecOps, is a collaborative approach to integrating security practices into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) from the very beginning. It aims to break down silos between development, operations, and security teams, allowing them to work together seamlessly to deliver secure software faster and more efficiently.

  • Shifting security left: Instead of waiting until the end of the development process to think about security, DevSecOps embeds security considerations into every stage of the SDLC. This means developers are writing secure code from the start, and security vulnerabilities are identified and fixed early on, before they can become major problems.
  • Automation: DevSecOps heavily leverages automation to streamline security processes and reduce the risk of human error. This includes using tools for static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and automated security testing.
  • Collaboration: Effective DevSecOps requires close collaboration between all teams involved in the SDLC. This means developers, operations, and security teams need to communicate openly and share information regularly.
  • Continuous feedback: DevSecOps is an iterative process, and feedback is essential for its success. Security teams should provide developers with continuous feedback on the security of their code, and developers should be encouraged to ask questions and raise concerns about security early and often.

  • Improved software security: By baking security into the SDLC, DevSecOps can help organizations develop more secure software that is less vulnerable to cyberattacks.
  • Faster delivery: By automating security processes and breaking down silos between teams, DevSecOps can help organizations deliver software faster and more efficiently.
  • Reduced costs: By preventing security breaches and fixing vulnerabilities early on, DevSecOps can help organizations save money on security costs.
