🔍 Why SSDLC Matters in DevOps
Traditional SDLC treats security as an afterthought. SSDLC changes the narrative by integrating security across every phase—from requirements to deployment. This shift:
Minimizes vulnerabilities early, reducing patch costs
Fosters a security-first mindset across teams
Meets compliance standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR
If you’re looking for a comprehensive approach to Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) that also integrates with managed detection and response, explore DefenceRabbit’s Secure Software Development Life Cycle services for a fully aligned security pipeline.
