Despite years of discussing DevSecOps, achieving security and development collaboration remains an uphill battle in most organizations.
The Slow March of DevSecOps Evolution While the concept of DevSecOps has been discussed for years as a best practice for integrating security into development lifecycles, actual adoption has been gradual at best.
The reality is that despite widespread consensus on the need for closer collaboration between security and development teams, real-world progress has lagged.
Shoshani attributes this to the constant tension between an exciting vision and on-the-ground implementation realities.
Security teams are trying to validate each release phase before the next begins trip up accelerated development timetables.
Without air cover from leadership, there's little incentive to try.
The result is not only slower velocity but also compounded risks from changes made without visibility into cross-functional impacts.
Dueling changes break production environments and reduce security adherence over time.
The Stream Solution: Visibility and Collaboration Stream Security's platform offers one pathway to help organizations stuck in these dynamics, providing integrated visibility and automated policy guardrails tailored to each team's concerns.
It then surfaces actionable, relevant alerts simultaneously to Security and DevOps users for tighter coordination.
Results From the Field Early proof points demonstrate Stream's potential impact.
As Shoshani shares, one customer went from being perpetually overwhelmed by a barrage of false positive alerts to trimmed, accurate notifications and confident oversight - allowing their tiny staff to finally collaborate effectively with their developer counterparts.
Others seek out the platform's unique capabilities for cost optimization, compliance auditing, or to combat shadow IT risks with newfound visibility.
While the path to mature DevSecOps practices remains long, Stream Security's approach demonstrates how smarter tools that provide transparency into the complete environment and enable closer cross-functional workflows can accelerate that evolution.
