A methodology that integrates security protocols directly into standard IT and operational workflows.
SecOps (Security Operations) is the close collaboration between an organization's IT security and IT operations teams.
Historically, security was an afterthought, applied at the end of the development cycle. SecOps integrates security scanning, threat modeling, and vulnerability management throughout the lifecycle of an application or infrastructure deployment.
For enterprise AI, mature SecOps means data mobilization pipelines and vector databases are hardened against attack from the start instead of patched afterward.
