The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) recently released The Six Pillars of DevSecOps – Collaboration and Integration. Written in collaboration with SAFECode, the paper lays out the importance of integrating DevSecOps into organizational processes and stresses how fostering a sense of collaboration is key to its successful implementation.

The report, the fifth in the Six Pillars of DevSecOps series, provides practical insights that help organizations build a unified environment where security is not an isolated function, but an essential part of software development. This includes how to promote regular, open, and proactive communication between all parties, ensuring that all stakeholders are involved, informed, and working towards a shared vision.

The report examines the convergence between DevSecOps and such technology areas as Zero Trust, AIOps, and MLSecOps, and provides an overview of how DevSecOps can be leveraged for Zero Trust, various issues in MLSecOps that have some semblance with DevSecOps, and how AIOps can be leveraged by DevSecOps.

Other topics included in the paper include:

• The overarching principles for successful collaboration in DevSecOps
• The why and how of role-based security training programs, offering details on implementing a continuous, role-based security training program at an organization
• How various organizational roles collaborate in an end-to-end DevSecOps delivery pipeline
• Communication requirements—based on various organizational roles—to integrating a new acquisition into an organization’s existing DevSecOps processes
• How to craft a winning DevSecOps culture
