Security needs to be top-of-mind when writing and deploying software. It can’t be sacrificed on the altar of faster delivery or other priorities. But not every DevSecOps tool will be the right fit for your unique circumstances.

Application hardening
Repository-level protection
Environment security
Application profiling for architectural security
SOAR and SIEM integration
Integration with development planning tools
