Deep dives

Shift Left and the Concept of Security as Code

Shift left and security as code are concepts that emphasize the importance of incorporating security practices and considerations early in the development process. By shifting left, developers are encouraged to think about security as they write code, rather than treating it as an afterthought. This mindset allows for better identification and mitigation of security vulnerabilities and risks. Additionally, security as code involves automating security processes and policies, making them more manageable and scalable. This approach enables developers to leverage tooling and automation to ensure that security measures are consistent and reliable throughout the development lifecycle.
