The text discusses the evolution and importance of integrating security into software development, highlighting how past cyber threats prompted a shift towards secure development practices, exemplified by Microsoft's adoption of a Secure Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It emphasizes that while some organizations still overlook security, others see it as a competitive advantage, particularly in the fast-paced Software as a Service (SaaS) environment. The document explains how tools like Snyk and Tines can automate security processes, enabling teams to detect and remediate vulnerabilities efficiently, thereby integrating security seamlessly into the development cycle. The text further illustrates a practical example using Snyk and Tines to manage vulnerabilities in a project, automating the opening and closing of Jira tickets for better tracking and resolution, and emphasizes the potential for broader applications of such automation in security operations.
