Security is important regardless of your industry, whether it’s finance, retail, e-commerce, or the broader world of IT. A little security oversight can have catastrophic impacts, leading to loss of money and unauthorized access to classified information.
It takes a lot of work to develop solutions that users trust. Therefore, you need to take security seriously to maintain the good reputation you have worked so hard for. In software delivery, security is as important as it is everywhere else.
Software delivery is part of the DevOps culture. When you take extra steps to integrate security, you are practicing DevSecOps.
