DEVSECOPS WILL CROSS THE CHASM IN 2022

By: Guy Eisenkot on January 5, 2022 0 Comments

We’ve been talking about DevSecOps and shift-left security for years. Although
this approach probably didn’t “cross the chasm” in 2021, we did see some very
telling milestones. Cybersecurity VC funding surged to record heights with a
focus on DevOps and cloud security and the need for DevSecOps became glaringly
evident with the Log4j vulnerability. On a more personal note, our own open
source security project Checkov has surpassed three million downloads.

Much of this momentum was inevitable. Those in infrastructure and reliability
circles have already been adopting and touting the benefits of shifting left and
automating as much as possible, so in many ways, it’s expected that security
would follow suit. Undoubtedly, the pandemic has also accelerated the need for
developers to work more autonomously without having security personnel and
processes acting as barriers to productivity and velocity.



We’re confident that 2022 will see the silos between development and security
teams continue to crumble as developer-led security practices become the norm
for cloud-native organizations.

DevSecOps finally crossing the chasm doesn’t mean that every enterprise and
traditional organization will shift security left and adopt security best
practices. It will, however, give them competitive advantages over those who
don’t—both in decreased security costs and increased developer productivity and,
thus, time-to-market.

What else is in store for the future of DevSecOps?


RISE OF THE DEVSECOPS JOB TITLE

Fewer than 5,000 people on LinkedIn currently have “DevSecOps” in their job
title, yet there are over 20,000 current openings for DevSecOps roles. In 2022,
expect to see more of those positions filled. This means security teams across
industries will conduct fewer manual security audits, there will be a
considerable influx of homegrown DevSecOps tooling and point solutions will
likely begin to consolidate into single platforms. 


BLURRED LINES BETWEEN APPLICATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY

Until recently, application security was a very well-defined (albeit fractured)
space focusing on securing the custom code and open source packages that make up
applications. However, with the rapid adoption of cloud-native applications, the
lines between application and infrastructure security are blurring. We expect to
see this trend continue as more engineers take on more infrastructure-related
projects, vendors start catering to use cases outside of their core competencies
(through acquisitions and in-house development) and the role of DevSecOps
continues to expand within organizations.


INFRASTRUCTURE-AS-CODE: THE GREAT CLOUD MIGRATION’S NEXT CHAPTER

We’ve been talking about the great migration to the cloud for years. At this
point, many companies are ready to move on to the next chapter:
Infrastructure-as-code (IaC). As a result of this trend, DevSecOps will become
much more important, as security needs to be baked earlier in development phases
or risk being left behind. In addition, security teams will need to become more
well-versed in development technologies and practices to provide the proper
guidance for the new way applications are built and deployed. 


MORE SOFTWARE SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACKS

Hackers have been targeting retailers and security vendors for years, exploiting
a minor weakness to gain access and move laterally into sensitive data. In the
past year, however, software supply chain attacks stepped into the spotlight due
to multiple supply chain attacks. We expect this trend to continue, which will,
in turn, put more focus on securing supply chains. DevSecOps, which has focused
mostly on tools and practices for securing the code and infrastructure, will
expand to include the supply chain mechanism. 

If 2021 was the year of hype for DevSecOps, we believe (and hope) that these
best practices are embraced en masse across industries. The benefits of
shift-left security are well documented: The number of high severity incidents
is significantly reduced, the potential attack surface is minimized, compliance
efforts are simplified and the time to remediation is lowered. Organizations
also save money by catching misconfigurations and vulnerabilities earlier in the
software development life cycle while at the same time gaining time back with
tools, both open source and commercial, that are empowering developers to move
fast and build applications that are more secure and reliable.
