“Forewarned is forearmed,” cautions the old proverb, and that truth coined in the 16th century is even more apt for DevSecOps in the 21st. The earlier you know about vulnerabilities, the better you can avoid making them part of your software. That’s the same principle behind a “Shift Left” DevSecOps strategy. Rather than waiting for … Continued
