The DevSecOps Career Path: What No One Tells You About Getting Started - DevOps.com
"DevOps teams across organizations are suddenly finding themselves responsible for security with no roadmap. One day, teams are focused on deployment velocity and infrastructure automation, the next day, they're expected to understand threat modeling, vulnerability management and compliance frameworks. This shift isn't happening by choice - it's happening because traditional security approaches can't keep pace with modern development cycles. The gap is real: DevOps professionals know they need security skills, but lack clear guidance on where to start."
"Instead of treating security as a gate that slows down releases, successful DevSecOps professionals make security an accelerator that prevents costly incidents and rework. DevSecOps professionals become bridges between security and development teams-translating business risk into technical action and technical findings into business impact. They don't just run security tools; they understand when tools provide false confidence and when manual review is necessary."
DevOps teams are now responsible for security without clear roadmaps, shifting from deployment velocity to understanding threat modeling, vulnerability management, and compliance. Traditional security approaches cannot keep pace with rapid development cycles. Available resources either assume deep security expertise or offer shallow tool tutorials, leaving practitioners without actionable guidance. Organizations need professionals who bridge rapid development and strong security posture. Security must be embedded in continuous deployment and infrastructure change processes. DevSecOps requires cultural and skill shifts toward 'secure speed,' attacker-minded thinking, tool literacy, and knowing when manual review is necessary.
