Why DevOps Fails at Application Security

Until security is treated similarly to QA this will never improve. Along with quality, robustness, performance, etc; security needs to be treated as a first class feature.

That said, it's a tradeoff. I've seen releases with P1 bugs being released. In those situations it was a discussion between Eng, QA, and Client Operations to determine what was the best course of action. Technically a P1 went out the door. Technically there were 2 additional releases before it mattered to the client that would have been affected.
