Beyond DevSecOps: The Rise of Security-First Development
ITProToday, Wednesday, June 4th, 2025
Security-first development represents the next evolution beyond DevSecOps: It's proactive, pervasive, and aligned with the pace of modern software delivery.
The security community has spent years evangelizing DevSecOps as the holy grail of secure software delivery. But the field has matured, and we're seeing cracks in the foundation.
The reality is that DevSecOps is no longer enough. It was a necessary leap, not the final destination. Today's threat landscape is more dynamic, the attack surface wider, and the tools more sophisticated. Security needs to become not just a part of development - it needs to become its fabric. That's where the next evolution comes in: security-first development.
