Traditional development processes often leave security as an afterthought, leading to vulnerabilities being introduced early in the development lifecycle and becoming costly to fix later. Without a DevSecOps approach, you risk:
Late-stage vulnerability discovery: Vulnerabilities identified late in the development cycle are expensive and time-consuming to fix, delaying releases and impacting project timelines.
Security vulnerabilities in production: Unidentified vulnerabilities reaching production environments can lead to data breaches, reputational damage, and compliance violations.
Sil silos between development and security teams: Ineffective collaboration between development and security teams hinders effective communication and slows down the development process.
Increased security overhead: Patching vulnerabilities in production is resource-intensive and disrupts ongoing development efforts.
