SecOps is the short form for “Security Operations” and involves the collaboration between operations and security teams to automate security tasks and make infrastructure as secure as possible. With increased cooperation between the two groups, your business will be more streamlined and secure.
You’ve streamlined your enterprise to work under SecOps. Now what?
Here are four basic principles to get you going.
- Perform formal SecOps training

- Carry out SOPs routinely to monitor the effectiveness of current practices and catch any new vulnerabilities and
- Avoid potential pitfalls
- SOPs streamline the enterprise and prevent communication mishaps between teams to ensure quicker remediation
- Offer effective SecOps tools

- Container technologies
- There are five main SecOps tools:
