The Next Level of the DevOps Process: A Challenger's Guide
As software continues to transform every industry, companies are now realizing that they must become software companies to stay relevant. Open source software (OSS) has played a critical role in this transformation, enabling companies to develop software faster and at lower cost. However, this comes with a number of challenges, such as vulnerability detection, legal compliance and import/export regulations. This is where an enhanced DevOps approach can help.
DevOps is the cutting-edge method for developing, releasing, and operating IT solutions in-house or as SaaS. Originally adopted by companies such as Amazon, Netflix, Target, and Adobe, DevOps has grown in popularity over the years. 83% of IT decision makers now say they have adopted DevOps practices.

However, implementing a simple DevOps toolchain is not enough. Dealing with vulnerabilities, legal compliance, and import/export regulations outside the DevOps tool chain will lead to costly nightmares sooner or later. To avoid this, we recommend extending DevOps by integrating the security and compliance lifecycles into an integrated continuum: Development-Security-Compliance-Operation.
The key to success is integrated dashboards for a data-driven decision-making process across interacting teams of developers, security experts and legal counsel. While this may seem complex, it guarantees a more peaceful night's sleep knowing that your software is secure, legally compliant and exportable.
