Within a DevSecOps framework, security best practices get baked in at every phase of development, so apps are more secure, have fewer vulnerabilities, and require less patching. Notably, an Agile DevSecOps framework focuses on maintaining development velocity without incurring security debt which will have to be paid down by the organization later.

The focus on speed-to-market in the software world puts constant pressure on development teams. The pressure to keep up with changing demands, continuously improve features, yet ship apps quickly, often undercuts security concerns and testing. Research on mobile app security found that 83% of apps are distributed with at least one security flaw. This constant time pressure lures some dev teams into taking a ship now, patch later attitude. However, as most teams know, once one project is finalized, it’s straight onto the next one, and the time and resources to fix releaseday issues never materialize.
