DevOps Without Security Is Just Speed Without Safety 🚧"
⚠️ In today’s high-stakes digital world, fast delivery means nothing if your pipelines aren’t secure by design.
That’s where DevSecOps comes in—shifting security left, automating it, and embedding it into every stage of your DevOps lifecycle.
🔐 DevOps Security Best Practices (2025 edition):
1. 🧪 Shift-Left Testing
→ Scan code, containers & dependencies before they hit production.
2. 🔐 Secrets Management
→ Never hardcode passwords or tokens. Use tools like Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Doppler.
3. 📜 SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials)
→ Know what you ship. Transparency = trust.
4. 📦 Container Hardening
→ Minimal base images. Drop root. Run scans (e.g. Trivy, Grype).
5. 🔁 Security as Code
→ Automate policies (OPA, Snyk, Checkov) in CI/CD.
6. 🛡️ Zero Trust in Pipelines
→ Verify every action, enforce least privilege (IAM, RBAC).
7. 🧩 Immutable Infrastructure
→ If it changes, replace it—not patch it.
8. 🕵️♀️ Continuous Monitoring
→ Use tools like Falco, Prometheus, Grafana, Wazuh to detect and respond fast.
