Abstract
Agile and DevOps methodologies are becoming increasingly popular in software development, as they offer many benefits to software development teams and the organizations they work for. Agile methods depend on speed in development, repetition, and an increase in focus on the main characteristics and functions of the system. The DevOps approach aims at continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous improvement, and faster feedback. Security is a critical component of Agile and DevOps methodologies. Integrating security into the development process from the outset can help to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities, improve collaboration between development and security teams, enable rapid response to security incidents, increase automation, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. In conclusion, security has challenges in agile and DevOps approaches, so this paper discusses the most important challenges of combining ensuring security and continuous development.
