Abstract

Agile development methodologies emphasize rapid delivery and iterative improvements, often sidelining security considerations. Integrating DevSecOps practices into Agile workflows addresses this challenge by embedding security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. This research explores how DevSecOps transforms Agile development into a secure, adaptive, and robust system for continuous delivery. Through a review of existing literature and an analysis of successful implementations, this paper highlights best practices and identifies gaps for future research. Quantitative and qualitative data substantiate the benefits of secure continuous delivery pipelines, focusing on efficiency and resilience improvements.
