The Six Pillars of DevSecOps: Measure, Monitor, Report, and Action
Release Date: 05/14/2024
Working Group: DevSecOps
The implementation and maintenance of DevSecOps initiatives can take anywhere from a few months to several years to implement. Therefore, continuous measurement is essential when attempting to understand what changes have occurred in people, processes, and tooling. Without actionable DevSecOps metrics and observability, teams cannot measure performance, understand progress, replicate success, or recognize failures. These characteristics are essential for establishing a robust security posture.
This publication discusses how measuring, monitoring, and reporting are crucial for understanding and improving security practices within software development lifecycles. DevOps teams of all maturity levels will learn how to turn security metrics into reportable and observable data.
Key Takeaways:
- How to make vulnerability, security architecture, and incident response data observable and actionable
- How varying levels of DevSecOps maturity impact security observability and response
- The importance of continuous measurement
- How to enhance DevOps observability through reporting, including making data accessible, highlighting areas of opportunity, driving continuous improvement, and encouraging communication and collaboration
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.
