About
When it comes to DevSecOps, automation is always there for you—just like Chandler’s recliner is always there for him. In the world of “we need it yesterday”, manual processes can no longer keep up with the demands for rapid, secure software delivery. Automation in DevSecOps is the key to bridging the gap between speed and security, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated at every stage of the development lifecycle. Fewer manual processes can free up your teams to focus on innovation—so instead of questioning if they were on a “break”, everyone will know they were actually on a sprint.
