ALL ABOUT INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION: THE
FUTURE OF DEVSECOPS
Today, organizations want to make the best use of digital transformation at high speed without
compromising security. Companies use various technologies and processes like DevSecOps, site
reliability engineering, GitOps, etc.
Companies’ technologies and processes need automation to maximize the velocity and enable
continuous improvement.
It is right that DevOps environments allow faster deployments to production, but they may also
be a risk to the organization if not secured rightly.
Attackers are looking for DevOps environments because they know they can gain access to
source code, libraries, cloud environments, defect reports, and other sensitive information.
Thus, it is important to secure the IT environments of the organization.

Organizations use methodologies to add security to the existing mature DevOps practices to
combat security threats.
THE INDUSTRY PROBLEM
The security teams are adopting the DevOps methodologies to catch up with DevSecOps, which
means adding automation. Here, automation is key for DevOps, but adding an application
security tool and automating it won’t help you.
Automating the various tools in the pipeline and running them without understanding the
requirement can create several problems. The problems may be related to:
● Scaling
● Speed
● Collaboration
● Testing
● The difficult resolution, etc.
THE SOLUTION
The solutions to these all problems can be as follows:
● Balancing people, process, and technology.
● Running automated security tests.
● Ensure that all procedures and policies in a company are followed.
● Lighten the load on developers by automating as much as possible and just bringing up
the most critical issues for resolution.
● Use an automated signoff process.
CRITICAL FUNCTIONS OF SECURITY IN DEVSECOPS
Let’s start by talking about policy as code. The policy should be based on a well-informed risk
education strategy. An approach to software security is important for all app development
teams to use static analysis. A better policy is the one that would specify the tool and identify
the configuration and types of results before launching an application.
Policy as code is one technique to express policy in the form of machine-readable files. When
you use policy as code, it simply means that the policy is precise and the change management
process can support changes.
The security in DevSecOps performs various important functions. It enforces the policy as a
code. It also conducts testing at specified events within the development pipeline. The security
layer must also be capable of handling the tooling integrations and normalizing the results from
the security tools.

Your pipeline requests the security layer to execute security testing when events like a
repository commit or repository merge request. Intelligent orchestration is the name of this
effective procedure.
INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION
Intelligent orchestration helps teams integrate the application security analysis into DevOps
pipelines by maintaining the development velocity. It uses a cloud-based channel that performs
the proper security tests at the correct time that too based on the defined policies.
HOW CAN INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION HELP DEVELOPMENT TEAMS?
Developers are given problems based on the organization’s security policies priority. Intelligent
orchestration can help the teams decide – when to run a particular scan and when not to. The
decision is made by calculating the total risk score and pre-decided security policies.
Intelligent orchestration can be very useful for DevOps engineers. It reduces the risk of adding
application security testing into the DevOps pipelines. It also removes friction by differentiating
analysis from other development flaws, which will ensure the maintenance of pipeline velocity.
HOW CAN INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION HELP SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE TEAMS?
The role of security teams is to configure the organization’s specific policy, governance, and
compliance requirements. In Intelligent orchestration, the policies that decide the depth &
breadth of security activities, catch any anomalies, and scan compliance requirements can be
configured for each business unit and the whole company.
Security professionals may also quickly set up security or quality gates according to user-defined
criteria. Necessary issues are then automatically forwarded to issue-tracking platforms. It gives
development teams constant input and visibility into security discoveries.
The Intelligent orchestration also allows people to configure the post-scan feedback so that the
response team or person gets notified immediately about the paused or failed builds or possible
threats.
SECURITY AT SCALE AND SPEED WITH INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION
With Intelligent Orchestration, you don’t have to stress the application security, slowing the
development pipelines and hindering your digital transformation and innovation.
Intelligent Orchestration runs the right tools at the right time by triggering the manual activities,
so you don’t have to run all the activities in the pipeline for every build and wait for the team to
perform the actions.
Companies can also adopt a good release management process for software releases. It will
improve the efficiency of the release teams.

CONCLUSION
At last, we would say that automation has become important to release applications and
software quickly. Nevertheless, automation does not necessarily work in your favour all the
time. Intelligent Orchestration can help maintain the development velocity and ensure security;
hence, it seems to be the future of DevSecOps, i.e., development, security, and operations.
