The goal is to ensure that security is integrated early on in the development cycle, enhancing the overall security posture of the applications being developed.
Shift-Left Security Practices
One of the key highlights of Azure Space is its emphasis on 'shift-left' security practices. This methodology involves incorporating security considerations from the planning stage all the way through development, packaging, and deployment. By integrating security into the developer workflow using tools like Microsoft Visual Studio and GitHub, potential security vulnerabilities can be detected automatically at the code review stage, ensuring a proactive approach to security.
