Data Security  

Data security is the process of protecting digital information from unauthorized access, corruption, or theft throughout its entire lifecycle. It’s a concept that encompasses every aspect of information security from the physical security of hardware and storage devices, administrative and access controls, logical security of software applications, and organizational policies and procedures. When properly implemented, data security strategies will protect an organization’s information assets against cyberattacks, as well as guard against insider threats and human error, which remains among the leading causes of data breaches.

DevSecOps  

Businesses are now demanding a stronger collaboration between both development and operational teams and adding their relative security teams. This additional force that creates DevSecOps is transferable to the idea that prior to this implementation, DevOps skipped the security step which after deployment of applications created roadblocks once confronted with issues that arose with this specific exclusion. The true focus of DevSecOps is to create a transparent and full circle management life cycle that leverages all of the components of DevSecOps to ensure timely and full functioning application deployment that include proper security steps through every process rather than at the end.
