Summary

DevSecOps integrates security into modern development workflows by embedding security practices into the tools developers already use, such as CircleCI, allowing continuous application of security standards during the build and deploy process. By scanning container images before they are deployed, DevSecOps provides immediate feedback to developers, preventing insecure or non-compliant workloads from entering production. Automated security and compliance quality gates are established in consultation with security teams and are integrated into the CI/CD process, enabling developers to address vulnerabilities early in development. The Twistlock orb in the CircleCI Orb Registry allows integration of Twistlock's scanning capabilities via the twistcli command-line tool, which can assess images for vulnerabilities and compliance issues without needing a native plugin. Users can customize scan settings to block builds that don't meet security requirements, and scan results are accessible in both CircleCI and the Twistlock Console. The integration of security into DevOps workflows is exemplified by Jeremy Adams' work with Twistlock, where he leverages his extensive IT operations experience to help cloud-native partners release secure applications.
