Which term describes a set of practices that combines development, security, and operations to improve delivery?

• A. Versioning
• B. Spiral
• C. DevSecOps/SecDevOps
• D. Asset Disposal

Answer: (C)

DevSecOps (also called SecDevOps) describes a set of practices that blends development, security, and operations to improve delivery. It means security is integrated into every stage of the software lifecycle—planning, coding, building, testing, deploying, and operating—so security checks and controls happen automatically as part of the workflow rather than being tacked on after development. This shift-left approach, together with automation, continuous integration and delivery, and cross-team collaboration, helps catch vulnerabilities earlier, reduce risk, and speed up release cycles.

Other options don’t fit because they describe different concepts: versioning is about tracking software revisions, the Spiral model is a specific iterative development process, and asset disposal concerns how to safely retire hardware or software.
