The time between a developer committing a security flaw and the pipeline automatically rejecting it. In a mature AWS DevSecOps model, that time is under 60 seconds . nikit swaraj accelerating devsecops on aws
Nikit Swaraj, a thought leader in cloud-native security, emphasizes a paradigm shift: The goal isn't to slow down the pipeline for security; it is to inject security so deeply that it becomes invisible. | Function | AWS Service | Why it
In the race to deliver software, speed is the currency. However, for many organizations, security remains the bottleneck. Traditional security gateways—penetration tests at the end of a sprint or manual compliance checks—are antithetical to modern DevOps. | | Threat Detection | GuardDuty | Agentless;
Security team emails the dev team. Dev team patches next sprint. Exploit occurs.
