Early security practices in DevSecOps should focus on shifting security left in the development lifecycle. This includes implementing secure coding standards, static application security testing (SAST), and dependency vulnerability scanning at the code commit stage. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security checks, secrets management, and automated compliance policies should also be introduced early. Threat modeling during design helps identify risks before development begins. Continuous security testing within CI/CD pipelines ensures faster detection and remediation of issues. Teams that adopt DevSecOps Training and Certification early gain a stronger understanding of these practices, enabling consistent security integration, reduced risks, and faster, more reliable software delivery.
