“Shift Left” Developer Productivity
Maximize productivity by giving developers actionable guidance to enhance security posture
Addressing security issues late in the development cycle often leads to time-consuming and disruptive fixes. Lack of actionable insights and collaboration with the security team only worsens developer experience.
Shifting security to the left helps developers spot security issues early in the cycle, saving precious time and resources needed to ship code.

Frequently asked questions
What is "Shift Left" in the context of developer productivity?
“Shift Left” in the context of developer productivity means addressing security and quality issues early in the SDLC, rather than waiting until the later stages. By integrating security testing, code reviews, and quality checks from the inception of the development phase, developers can identify and resolve issues faster, reduce rework, and enhance overall productivity. This approach minimizes delays during deployment and helps developers deliver secure and reliable code without compromising on speed.
What benefits does shifting security left bring to a development team?
Shifting security to the left offers development teams numerous benefits. Here are a few of them:
1) Detecting and addressing security issues early in the SDLC reduces costly fixes later
2) Early integration of secure coding practices enhances the overall code quality
3) Early focus on security issues reduces delays in the latter part of the SDLC
4) Fosters collaboration between security and development teams from the very beginning
5) Early detection and mitigation of risks leads to fewer security gaps in prod
How does Shift-Left support open source vulnerability management?
An important aspect of Shift-Left security is scanning source code for vulnerabilities and integrating security checks early in the development cycle. By scanning open-source dependencies and packages at the time of coding or committing code, the chances of vulnerable code reaching the production environment reduces.
Addressing vulnerabilities early also helps developers fix issues with minimal disruption, preventing vulnerabilities from compounding as the software progresses through the pipeline. This approach enhances security while improving code quality and reducing remediation costs.
How does Shift-Left improve collaboration between development and security teams?
By shifting left, developers are tasked with security improvements from early on in the development cycle. This means that security teams provide guidance and feedback during the coding phase rather than after deployment, reducing friction and last-minute security issues.
By shifting left, developers also gain a better understanding of security requirements and security teams become more integrated into the development process. This improves collaboration & communication, and speeds-up vulnerability detection to deliver secure, high-quality software.
How can OpsMx help in Shifting-Left Security?
OpsMx supports shift-left by helping enterprises integrate and automate security checks throughout the software delivery pipeline. By automating security scans such as SAST, DAST, secrets scanning, and open-source vulnerability assessments, risks/ threats are detected even before the code reaches production.
By offering real-time feedback and policy enforcement within the CI/CD pipeline, OpsMx empowers developers to address security issues proactively, improving collaboration between security and development teams while accelerating secure software delivery.
