Datadog's approach to DevSecOps: An executive perspective

DevSecOps is an essential practice for organizations to foster in order to deploy resilient and secure applications and services. It breaks down the barriers between development, operations, and security teams by integrating security into all workstreams. This approach shortens feedback loops, empowers engineers to contribute to security guidelines, and provides security teams with context and understanding for effective investigations and reviews. DevSecOps can be implemented using existing tools such as automation and monitoring, and fostering a culture of collaboration between teams. Datadog has successfully integrated DevSecOps into its operations by creating strong communication channels across formerly isolated teams and integrating security into site reliability goals.
