First we need to understand that Ops is about provisioning infrastructure for different environments i.e., Dev, Staging, Pre-Prod, Production etc., deployment applications, monitoring etc., based on which the entire IT works. Ops has a touch point or impact on every IT resource and asset of the organization.
SecOps should strive to bring in process that will work across the organizations IT Infrastructure. To do this using automation there is a choice of using multiple tools in the entire chain, but having a single, unified process tool chain will surely keep SecOps streamlined.
Traditionally security teams tend to focus only on the operations or production environment. This aspect will bring in more vulnerabilities in production and this is too late.
SecOps processes should also be able to mitigate security threats across the software delivery pipeline
A leading technology company wanted to use an end-to-end DevOps methodology for their product launches. Their product is a proprietary software tool suite for electronic design automation, which is used to develop schematics for printed circuit board manufacture.
