Well, the answers to all those questions relate to how software has changed, and how the way we store data has altered. What’s driving the DevSecOps movement right now is necessity. The left-shift to DevOps in recent years has resulted in faster and more flexible coding, but the trade-off so far has been a massive increase in vulnerabilities and an urgent need for better cybersecurity.
