This white paper examines Beacon’s software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes and the DevSecOps methodologies on which they are based. Another paper describes the shared responsibility model for cloud infrastructure and operations with secure installation and isolation of each customer’s operating instances.

DevSecOps (Development, Security, Operations) is the practice of treating security as an integral part of and shared responsibility throughout the entire software development lifecycle. More than just tools and techniques, DevSecOps is a combination of culture, processes, and technologies that create a continuous cycle of security awareness. Surrounded and enabled by a secure environment, these steps rely on clearly defined workflows and process automation to consistently deliver secure, quality code.
