How does Illumio support DevSecOps initiatives?

Illumio supports DevSecOps initiatives by integrating security policies directly into the development workflow. This approach enables security measures to be identified and addressed at each stage of the development lifecycle, ensuring that security is a fundamental part of the development process rather than an afterthought. By embedding security policies into the workflow, teams can maintain agility and speed in development while ensuring that applications are deployed securely.

This integration fosters a proactive security posture, allowing developers to understand the security implications of their code from the onset and enabling continuous security validation as changes are made. Such practices encourage collaboration between development, security, and operations teams, which is at the heart of DevSecOps.

Other options would hinder the effectiveness of a DevSecOps strategy. For example, delaying security policy implementation until production could expose vulnerabilities in the application, while creating separate security teams may lead to fragmented communication and slow response times. Removing security checks entirely would undermine the security of the applications being developed.
