Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps

Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps

Dependency Mapping for DevSecOps Today, DevOps teams use a staggering array of interconnected applications and infrastructure systems to build their continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These components are called dependencies because they depend on each other to enhance the functionality of an application. While dependencies shorten the release cycle and simplify developers’ lives, without proper security in place, these pipelines can be exposed to critical risks. In a worst-case scenario, it can cause…
