Agile & DevSecOps
Agile Framework
The Agile Framework improves an organization’s efficiency and transparency. Appteon’s utilization of the Agile Framework guarantees that projects are manageable, flexible, swift, efficient and accurate.
SAFe
SAFe is an Agile methodology more focused on guiding enterprises in scaling lean and Agile practices. In specific, SAFe utilizes the best practices of Agile software development, lean product development, and systems thinking.
Hybrid
Appteon’s hybrid approach accepts the fluidity of projects and allow for a more nimble and nuanced approach to the work.
DevSecOps
Definition
DevSecOps is a shorthand term for development, security, and operations. It integrates these three concepts to ensure everyone is thinking of the project in a holistic approach, with the objective of implementing security decisions and actions at the same scale and speed as development and operations decisions and actions.
Components
- Analysis – Identify code vulnerabilities early in the development cycle
- Compliance – Build code that can be audited at any time and be fully compliant to standards set by individual agencies
- Vulnerability Assessment & Resolution
- Threat Investigation
- Training – Training is integral to DevSecOps and all software engineers are trained to design with security framework including code reviews, unit testing etc.
Strategy
Appteon’s DevSecOps strategy is a sustainable process that involves every member of the team, ensuring that everything they do is security-conscious. Because of the numerous of threats from multiple sources, the first line of defense must be users. Our strategy follows the DevSecOps Manifesto, using a security-first and always-on approach. It is developed so that protection is incorporated at a fundamental level, directly within the code.
Implementation
DevSecOps is implemented step-by-step, uniting different teams such as Security, Operations, Development and Test. DevSecOps requires effective planning, design, and release, which will all work towards a common goal. In-house experts are leveraged to identify potential loopholes, design errors, and weak spots.
Benefits
DevSecOps ensures that the software development lifecycle brings development operations and security together under one umbrella, ensuring the best product possible.
