DevSecOps stands for Development, Security, and Operations. It builds on the principles of DevOps but emphasizes security as a fundamental component of the software development life cycle. In DevSecOps, security is not just the responsibility of security experts; developers, operations, and even testers play a role in ensuring that security best practices are followed throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
Jenkins is one of the most widely used CI/CD tools. Its versatility, combined with a large number of plugins, makes it a powerful choice for automating the integration of security checks at every stage of the development process. Jenkins integrates easily with tools for static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and compliance testing, making it an ideal platform for DevSecOps.
