DevSecOps and Shift-Left Security.

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Short answer

Integrating security practices directly into the DevOps pipeline, moving security testing to the earliest stages ('left') of the SDLC.

Deep explanation

Instead of waiting for a final security audit before deployment, security is automated. This includes SAST (Static Application Security Testing) on pull requests, SCA (Software Composition Analysis) to scan dependencies, DAST (Dynamic testing) on staging, and automated container image scanning before pushing to registries.
