Managers and engineers naturally want to adopt new approaches which can improve product quality and the efficiency of their teams. Many new practices are seeing increased use across domains - and this includes DevSecOps, a combination of development, security and operations.
DevSecOps is a collection of concepts and practices designed to break down the silos between developers, security professionals and operations specialists within an organisation. It promises a more-integrated way of developing, shipping and monitoring products and services.
The IET’s Engineering Safety Policy Panel has produced a short flyer highlighting the promises of DevSecOps practices, as well as considerations for its use in safety-related environments. This presents some key concepts on the subject and includes questions that organisations should ask when thinking about adopting these methodologies.
We’re now working on a paper that gives more detailed guidance for practitioners and managers, which is due out in Q1 2023. As such, we’d like to hear from you, especially from practitioners in safety-related industries. Please let us know your thoughts on the questions below, or on related DevSecOps matters:
- Has your organisation rolled out DevSecOps or DevOps within their projects, systems or services? If not, why not?
- What’s one key blocker you see to the adoption of DevSecOps in the safety-related environment?
- What’s one key topic you would expect to see in any guidance from the IET on this subject?
