What is DevSecOps and Why it Matters

In a world where technology evolves at the speed of light, security is no longer an afterthought in software development. It's at the heart of everything North Wind does. DevSevOps, short for Development, Security, and Operations, represents a fundamental shift in the way software is conceptualized, developed, and maintained. It's a culture, a set of practices, and a mindset that unifies these traditionally siloed domains.

Development, Security, and Operations or DevSecOps

Transform your software
The world of software engineering is evolving rapidly, and DevSecOps is at the forefront of that evolution. If you're ready to embrace a future where security and efficiency go hand in hand, we're here to help.

As an experienced provider to federal agencies and operations, North Wind organizes the cyber security offerings and services around the guidelines and concepts expressed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. North Wind's approach embraces both proactive (i.e., preventing incidents before they can occur) and reactive (i.e., prompt response to correct when incidents occur) services organized in accordance with the following functions:

  • Identify
  • Protect
  • Detect
  • Respond
  • Recover

These functions are designed to inform an organization of its risks; develop and implement a plan and system to secure from and respond to threats; and provide a platform to recover, continue operations, and learn from cyber incidents.

North Wind has extensive experience in obtaining and maintaining Authorized to Operate (ATO) and using multiple Risk Management Frameworks (RMF).

Technical Debt accumulates when shortcuts are taken during development, resulting in suboptimal code and architecture. Technical Debt is easy to overlook but can profoundly impact your software's health and longevity. It's like a hidden storm beneath the surface, waiting to disrupt your journey.
