How To Measure DevSecOps
Summary
This article discusses DevSecOps, emphasizing its integration of security into the development process within a cloud-native environment. It highlights the importance of metrics to govern and measure the effectiveness of DevSecOps practices, proposing specific metrics like code coverage, backlog burndown, arrival rates, survival rates, and escape rates.
IFF Assessment
The article focuses on improving security through better processes (DevSecOps) and measurement, which directly benefits defenders by enhancing their security posture.
Defender Context
DevSecOps aims to bake security into the software development lifecycle from the start, which is crucial for proactive defense. Defenders should focus on implementing and tracking relevant metrics to ensure security controls are effective and that vulnerabilities are identified and remediated early.
