DevSecOps is all about better integrating security into the software development life cycle (SDLC).

For any tooling that involves code analysis, it makes sense to sync up with existing testing workflows. That’s where CI comes in.

Balancing the volume of applications and the increased deployment frequency with the need for security is a struggle for both development and security teams. Recent research indicates that vulnerability management in modern software development has become more complex, with 69% of CISOs acknowledging this challenge. Consequently, many applications are not adequately covered by security scans.
