Long gone are the days when developers spent months building a single app before releasing it into production. Thanks to agile methodologies, developers can now write – and rewrite – code multiple times per day at record speed.
That’s a critical advantage given the business world’s shrinking window for time-to-market. But while agile practices such as DevOps can help satisfy ever-evolving consumer demands, they can also make it difficult for developers to embrace stringent security controls, especially if they introduce unplanned and unscheduled fixes into the development cycle.
