In recent times, DevSecOps has been moving away from the multi-tool setup. While each tool had its strengths, it also meant each team had its tools for different stages of the software development lifecycle. This ultimately created siloes in the process, causing development inefficiencies and increasing the cost of the toolchain. IT managers had to rely on digital transformation to solve fundamental problems such as developer onboarding, slow-performing teams, and security discrepancies without a...
