Adam Clater, chief architect of Red Hat’s North American public sector business, has said there is a need for federal agencies to accept the integration of security in software development processes as a cultural change, MeriTalk reported Monday.
Clater noted he believes it is important that agency managers grasp the need to standardize their way of creating software systems to add stability and security in development and operations or DevOps practices, leading to a new concept called DevSecOps.
He urged agency managers to begin with undertaking easy and uncomplicated steps to determine how they should adapt to DevSecOps.
Agencies should observe how they will respond to changes in the software development process as advancements are always being made in the cloud and technology sectors, according to Clater.
