In a recent IDC Market Presentation titled Are India Enterprises DevSecOps-Ready? State of DevSecOps Adoption in India, IDC provides deep insights on uniting security with DevOps to accelerate innovation and application delivery. This report also provides insights into DevSecOps initiatives, tools, practices, and policies among Indian enterprises. The goals involve understanding the factors driving and challenging the DevSecOps adoption among Indian organizations.
“India organizations are dedicating significant budgets to their software development life cycle (SDLC) and increasingly incorporating agile and DevOps methodologies. However, the organizations need to realize the importance of incorporating security across the SDLC,” says Rithika Ponnala, Senior Research Analyst, Digital Transformation Practice, IDC India.
“Explosion of new applications results in the increase of cybersecurity attacks too. As a result, DevSecOps gains momentum and IT leaders aim towards integrating security early in the development cycle,” says Neha Gupta, Senior Research Manager, IDC India.
As organizations face these challenges, leaders are looking to change their strategies. As per the same survey, organizations are prioritizing accelerating innovation and application delivery by uniting security with DevOps.
