What is
DataDevSecOps

"Data" will soon be added to the word DevSecOps. DevOps was the earliest coined term which came out in 2007 to 2008 (wikipedia). DevSecOps is the 2nd term which evolved to ensure Security was another pillar of focus (shift-left). In May 2023, Doug Lubey created a presentation for SQLSATURDAY in Baton Rouge Louisiana where he used the term "DATADEVSECOPS". He believes this is the 4th pillar and also the most important support pillar which needs to be shifted Left. "Data" is the lowest common denominator in every product.

DataDevSecOps - Where is the Data in DevSecOps? SQLSATURDAY July 29, 2023

In this presentation, we will explore the crucial role of data in the context of DEVSECOPS, a methodology that integrates development, security, and operations practices. We will delve into the challenges and opportunities of managing data effectively throughout the DEVSECOPS lifecycle, highlighting the significance of data-driven decision-making and the need for robust product management strategies. Join us as we unravel the vital connection between data and successful DevSecOps implementation.

Next Steps

Looking forward to the technology world adapting
data as a 4th Pillar of Practice.

Developers, Security and Operations should consider shifting "DATA" left.

Data

The least common denominator.
Dev

How developers understand the upstream(data) and downstream(data) of the life cycle.
Sec

Security is simple to overlook. Although, this is arguably more informatant than data.
Ops

An agile approach to everything; How customers, employees, and systems are helping each other gain momentum towards a better place.
