The Six Pillars of DevSecOps - Collaboration and Integration

Release Date: 02/20/2024

Working Group: DevSecOps

“Security can only be achieved through collaboration, not confrontation” is one of the defining principles of DevSecOps. Essentially, security is a team sport that requires various organizational roles to work together, including business leaders, domain experts, security personnel, architects, software developers, pentesters, SOC analysts, and product managers. This collaboration ensures that the threat landscape is well understood and that the organizational practices for IT activities, including the software development lifecycle, follow proper security hygiene.

This document highlights this fundamental DevSecOps principle. It provides practical insights that help organizations build a unified environment where security is not an isolated function, but an essential part of software development. This includes how to promote regular, open, and proactive communication between all parties, ensuring that all stakeholders are involved, informed, and working towards a shared vision.

Key Takeaways: 
  • Guiding principles for successful DevSecOps communication
  • How to implement a continuous role-based security training program at an organization
  • How various organizational roles collaborate in an end-to-end DevSecOps delivery pipeline
  • The communication and collaboration required amongst various organizational roles to integrate a new acquisition into existing DevSecOps processes
  • How DevSecOps collaboration principles apply to other technology practices and trends such as Zero Trust, AIOps, and MLSecOps

This publication is part of an entire series on the Six Pillars of DevSecOps. You can find all the papers in the series that have been released so far here.
