A practical buyer’s guide for developers, AppSec engineers, and engineering managers choosing where to scan, what to scan, and which tool actually fits.
The way businesses build and deliver software has changed dramatically over the past decade. Gone are the days when development teams would work in isolation for months before handing off a product to operations staff for deployment. Today's competitive market demands speed, reliability, and continuous improvement - and that is exactly what DevOps services are designed to deliver.
Shift-left has become the standard answer to the quality and security problems that accumulate when testing happens late. Move testing earlier. Catch defects in development, not in production. Run security checks in the pipeline, not in a post-release audit. The principle is sound. The execution is where most teams run into trouble.
Modern development teams move fast; security must keep pace. As organizations increasingly rely on GitLab to power CI/CD pipelines, integrating application security directly into the workflow is no longer optional — it’s essential. The Veracode GitLab Workflow Integration embeds automated security testing directly into GitLab pipelines, enabling teams to shift security left without disrupting delivery.
In celebration of International Women’s Month and the 2026 theme, JFrog hosted a virtual fireside chat on March 19, 2026: Women in DevSecOps: Leveraging AI in the Software Delivery Lifecycle.
AI-assisted coding is no longer a side experiment. It is becoming part of daily engineering workflows, from drafting functions and refactoring legacy code to generating tests and accelerating routine implementation work. That shift is why the Codex API now belongs in a broader DevSecOps conversation, not just a developer productivity discussion.
Aviram (Jit Co-Founder) chats with Pixellot about cutting SCA noise by focusing only on vulnerable packages that are direct dependencies and proven loaded at runtime. Delivered as a daily/weekly report via a custom Jit agent.
If you’re an engineering manager in 2026, it’s almost certain you’re already exploring DevSecOps tools… by necessity as much as by choice. The reasons are clear: security is no longer a side concern or a tick-box for regulated industries. Even non-regulated businesses now face rigorous customer security questionnaires, growing SOC 2 and supply chain requirements, and persistent threats (especially related to AI-generated code) that make security non-negotiable.
In software, speed is great, but safety is critical. How do you get both? That's the "Sec" in. It’s why has gained popularity: moving from the end of the line to the very beginning. Instead of a final check, it becomes a "shared responsibility" for Dev, Sec, and Ops teams at every stage of software development and delivery.
