Security Operations and Development Operations are often isolated from each other in an organization. Developers create applications or systems, IT operations would operate them, and security teams would keep them protected – often with little communication between the groups. In the optimal environment, the security personnel and IT operations are united and accountable for maintaining the efficiency and security of the environment.
Devops can help your clients’ organization accelerate application delivery with automation and standardization while making the entire application and platform lifecycle more secure. Whether you're modernizing applications in stages or working through a complete transformation, your client may have applications they’re moving to the cloud. Applying DevOps flexible practices and tools makes the entire project run faster and smoother by automating key steps and improving operational efficiency and standardization.
At Coquina Systems, we use a combination of practices and tools designed to increase your clients’ ability to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes.
The DevOps cycle provides organizations with the opportunity to incorporate security into the heart of their software development process. Rather than simply completing a ‘final check’ prior to a product release, organizations apply security best practices and compliance requirements throughout the application lifecycle. This process is typically called “SecOps” or “Security Operations”.
Keeping a security program operational and integrated with your clients’ development cycle can be a difficult task – especially since these are often two separate teams. Our SecOps team acts as part of your clients’ organization, filling in whichever gaps are needed. We help ensure security and operations staff collaborate and take joint responsibility for security issues and work to implement best practices, processes, and the right tools to attain desired goals, while securing the software and application environment.
