As the world’s eyes turn to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics, it’s hard not to be reminded of the 1992 US Men’s Basketball “Dream Team,” arguably the greatest team of all time, rivaling the Avengers, Justice League, and *NSYNC. But while Jordan, Magic, Bird, and the rest of their legendary crew are busy making basketball history, we have a challenge to win in the technology world: building software that is not only innovative, but also secure and reliable.
Passing the baton to DevSecOps: A new era in software development
Forget the old mindset and ways of thinking that put security on the back burner. It’s time for DevSecOps. Security is foundational and built into every step of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). It’s a team sport, an all-out attack on vulnerabilities and threats. And trust me, the stakes are high. The DevSecOps market is projected to reach $42 billion by 2030, with 57% of organizations already on board.
Why DevSecOps? A winning game plan
But what’s causing this exponential growth? First of all, today’s digital environment is like a high-stakes “squid game.” Cyber threats are evolving faster than Olympic sprinters, and traditional security measures can’t keep up. That’s where DevSecOps comes in, bringing together the best of development, security, and operations to create the ultimate triple threat.
The key is mapping out this winning playbook. It’s not just about bringing together the best players (though we cover that too), it’s about addressing the challenges facing modern software development teams.
Scaling: Systems must easily accommodate growing teams and increasing project complexity. It’s like building a stadium that can expand as your fan base grows. Security: Faster release cycles require equally agile security. Like a coach predicting his opponent’s next move, you need to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they appear on the court. Speed: Innovate faster without sacrificing quality or stability. Finding the sweet spot where speed and security work together is like a well-executed fast break that ends in a slam dunk.
Real-world results: Bon Secours Mercy Health achieves great things with OpenText
Consider the case of Bon Secours Mercy Health, a leading healthcare system. The company faced the challenge of consolidating disparate application testing processes after a merger. They adopted ALM Octane, OpenText’s comprehensive application lifecycle management platform. The result was a 20% increase in testing productivity, improved quality, faster time to market, and a better patient experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
OpenText Dream Team: The Starting Lineup for DevSecOps
This is the power of DevSecOps, and OpenText has the dream team to make it happen with DevOps Cloud.
ValueEdge (Magic Johnson): This is the point guard who ensures a smooth flow from planning to deployment and keeps everyone aligned. This AI-powered MVP orchestrates the entire SDLC, enabling seamless collaboration and optimized workflow. DevOps Aviator (Michael Jordan): This is the high-flyer who leverages AI to analyze data, predict potential issues, and guide his team to peak performance. It’s like having a coach who can see the entire court and predict the opponent’s every move. Fortify (Scottie Pippen): This is the lockdown defender that protects your applications with comprehensive security testing. Fortify finds and fixes vulnerabilities before they are exploited, ensuring your code is as secure as Fort Knox. UFT One (Unified Functional Testing) (Larry Bird): This is the sharpshooter, ensuring your software is always on target. UFT catches bugs and glitches before they cause problems, ensuring a smooth user experience. LoadRunner (Charles Barkley): This is a powerful tool that puts your applications through the most rigorous stress tests to ensure they can handle real-world traffic. Like a load-bearing wall, it maintains application stability and performance even under pressure.
The Future of DevSecOps: AI Takes the Top of the Podium
With AI and machine learning taking the reins and playing an increasingly important role, the future of DevSecOps is limitless. Imagine having a super-smart sidekick like Jarvis that can automatically detect and fix vulnerabilities, predict potential threats, and optimize the entire development process. That’s the power of AI-powered DevSecOps, and OpenText is leading the way.
OpenText’s AI-powered DevSecOps solutions enable you to:
Improve efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and reduce human error.
