The SecDevSecOpsSec Institute

The software development industry is in dire need of drastic changes to ensure the safety and security of the systems we rely on. The SecDevSecOpsSec Institute is an initiative that understands the importance of this issue. "Don't Just Shift Left—Shift Everywhere™" emphasizes the need for security considerations to be integrated throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), not just at the beginning or end stages of development. In order to achieve this, there are several key areas that need to be addressed:

• Upgrading computer science university education to include more emphasis on secure coding practices.
• A push for more secure coding certifications for developers to demonstrate their expertise in this area.
• Companies setting aside budgets for continuing secure coding education for their developers
• Integration of security tools throughout the entire SDLC.
• Implementing security testing throughout the SDLC to identify vulnerabilities early on
• Encouraging collaboration between development and security teams
• Prioritizing security in the product development roadmap and decision making process.

By addressing these areas, the software development industry can improve the overall security of systems and ensure the safety of the users who rely on them.
