How To Measure DevSecOps
Summary
This article discusses how to measure DevSecOps by introducing modern security metrics for governing its implementation in a cloud-native context. It outlines specific metrics like code coverage, backlog burndown, arrival rates, survival rates, and escape rates that can be incorporated into security programs.
IFF Assessment
The article focuses on improving and measuring DevSecOps, which is a defensive security practice aimed at integrating security into the software development lifecycle, thus benefiting defenders.
Defender Context
DevSecOps metrics are crucial for defenders to understand the effectiveness of their security integrations within the development pipeline. Tracking these metrics helps identify bottlenecks, measure progress, and ensure security controls are being adopted and maintained, ultimately leading to more secure software releases.
