Security isn't patched in the end: why include it from the start of development

Incorporating security into software design and development not only prevents risks, but also optimizes time, costs and quality. We'll tell you why the SecDevOps approach is key for your company.

In software development, there's a phrase that should no longer take place: “Then we added security”.

In an environment where time is pressing and pressure to go to market is high, many organizations still see security as an obstacle. But in reality, it's quite the opposite.

The approach SecDevOps (Security + Development + Operations) proposes a total integration of security from the beginning of the development cycle, not at the end as an extra or corrective step. Why is it so important? Because Not only do errors detected in production cost more, but they can directly affect business continuity, the trust of your users and regulatory compliance.

In Nextfense, we accompany technical teams so that safety is a natural part of their pipelines. From the automatic scanning of code and dependencies, until the automation of security tests in CI/CD And the DevOps team training, we help build robust software without losing agility.

Real advantages of applying SecDevOps

  • Lower cost of remediation
  • Vulnerability prevention by design
  • Agility without compromising security
  • More controlled and predictable environments
  • Culture of Shared Responsibility

It's not about holding back development, but about develop better and safer. Because when safety is part of the process, the entire product is strengthened.
