DevSecOps Platforms
DevSecOps platforms provide software engineering teams with an integrated set of capabilities that improve the developer experience across the software development life cycle (SDLC) and enable teams to deliver software quickly. This research evaluates DevSecOps platform vendors to help software engineering leaders make buying decisions.
Market Definition
Gartner defines DevSecOps platforms as those with fully integrated and orchestrated capabilities for continuous secure solution delivery using DevSecOps practices. They are built around the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, including planning, creation, artifact management, quality engineering, change management, compliance, environment management, deployment and monitoring, with security integrated throughout, plus collaboration, tool simplification and delivery metrics. They are delivered as cloud-hosted services, with some options for on-premises deployment.
DevSecOps platforms simplify the creation, maintenance and management of the components required for the secure delivery of various types of software. Platforms create common workflows, policies and data models; simplify user access; provide development and test environments; and provide a consistent user experience (UX) to reduce cognitive load and drive efficiency. They lead to improved visibility, auditability and traceability for the secure software delivery value stream. This end-to-end view encourages a systems-thinking mindset and accelerates feedback loops.
Organizations use DevSecOps platforms to reduce the friction and maintenance costs inherent in custom toolchains, decrease manual handoffs, and address the lack of consistent visibility throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). This enables product teams to deliver faster customer value without compromising security or quality. The DevSecOps platform market reflects the consolidation of technologies across development, security, infrastructure and operations to streamline software delivery.
DevSecOps platforms support multiple use cases, including, but not limited to: Agile software delivery, Cloud-native application delivery, GitOps, MLOps, Platform engineering and Infrastructure platform engineering (via IAC), Regulated delivery.
