In the modern software landscape, speed is a competitive advantage, but speed cannot come at the expense of security. Traditional security models—where a dedicated security team audits applications just before release—are bottlenecks that cannot scale in a Kubernetes environment. VMware Tanzu enables a "DevSecOps" approach, shifting security left by embedding it into the earliest stages of the software lifecycle. By treating security as code and integrating it into the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, organizations can achieve high velocity without increasing risk.
