Deep dives
Shift-Left Security Movement
Traditionally, security checks are conducted at the end of the software development lifecycle, but this approach can lead to expensive issues when vulnerabilities are discovered late. The shift-left movement advocates for early implementation of security testing during development, which can prevent vulnerabilities from entering production. By moving security practices to earlier phases, development teams can address potential threats proactively rather than reactively. This approach not only saves time and resources but also enhances software quality and security before deployment.
