DevOps and security can coexist with a little planning

Source – techtarget.com “If you’re not thinking about security at all, it’s crazy.” Those words, from Ari Weil, vice president and senior director of industry marketing at Akamai, neatly sum up his frustration with the so-called DevSecOps landscape. Despite well-publicized security breaches, most DevOps teams continue to think about security too late in the process.
