New research commissioned by technology services provider, Claranet, has found that 88% of UK businesses have adopted a DevOps approach but only 19% are confident in their ability to introduce DevSecOps (integration of security into their DevOps practices). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This underlines the risks that businesses are creating for themselves \u2013 especially given how DevOps tends to outpace traditional security controls \u2013 and the work that needs to be done within IT departments to embed and automate security best practices into the entire DevOps lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research, conducted by market research firm Vanson Bourne, included 300 respondents from businesses in both the UK and USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It found that 47% of UK organisations have adopted a DevOps approach, with an additional 41% planning to make this a reality in the next couple of years, indicating that DevOps is becoming a de facto way of working for many IT departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when considered alongside the fact that a fifth of organisations doubt their capability to deliver DevSecOps, it becomes clear that there is a significant disconnect between DevOps capabilities and DevSecOps readiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This lack of full emphasis on security as part of the DevOps process could lead to data security issues further down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
