Velocity vs Security: The DevOps Challenge
DevOps teams face immense pressure to deliver software faster, but traditional security approaches create bottlenecks that slow deployment cycles and frustrate development teams
Seamless integration into CI/CD pipelines
Just-in-time access that won't slow you down
Real-time threat detection and rapid response
Zero-trust security model with comprehensive audit trails
DevOps Attack Vectors Are Everywhere
Unapproved apps bypass security controls and increase your attack surface
Developers and operations staff with excessive privileges increase risks
Kubernetes clusters and cloud resources often lack proper access controls
Hardcoded passwords and unrotated keys create easy entry points
Malicious code in third-party libraries can compromised entire development pipelines
Layered Security That Protects Your Pipeline
At CI/CD pipeline level, developers, automation tools, and deployment processes are safeguarded with multiple security features to maintain DevOps velocity.
Request and Approval Layer
Privileged access to production systems and sensitive resources isn’t assumed–it’s earned. Admin By Request enforces the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP) and Just-in-Time Elevation, meaning users have only the minimum privileges required to do their jobs, with privileges elevated only when absolutely necessary.
Threat Detection Layer
Commands and files run during elevated sessions are automatically scanned with 37+ anti-malware engines using OPSWAT MetaDefender. Malicious payloads are stopped before they can execute, with checksum lookup taking less than 0.1 seconds for known files and real-time cloud scanning for unknown files.
Logging and Auditability Layer
The system provides real-time monitoring and documentation of user actions throughout privileged sessions, helping ensure compliance with industry regulations and identify risks in real time.
Tailored Protection for DevOps Environments
Every DevOps team operates differently. Admin By Request offers customizable policies that support both security-focused and productivity-focused workflows.
Security First
For regulated industries, production environments, or enterprise development teams:
- Mandatory approval for all privileged operations and deployments
- SSO or MFA authentication
- Real-time alerts for installs or policy violations
- Pre-approval lists restricted to verified tools and dependencies
- AI/ML auto-approval disabled
Productivity First
For agile development teams, DevOps engineers, or rapid prototyping environments:
- Auto-approval enabled for trusted apps
- Streamlined workflows with optimal reason prompts for faster deployments
- Alerting limited to high-risk actions
- Flexible pre-approval workflows
- Minimal interruption to deployments velocity and continuous integration processes
Whether securing enterprise production pipeline or accelerating development cycles, Admin By Request gives you precise control over access and security
Smooth Integration. Minimal Disruption.
Admin By Request works seamlessly across remote environments with no heavy infrastructure changes:
Windows and macOS endpoints
Hybrid, remote, and cloud-first environments
Integrations with VPNs, RMM tools, IAM platforms (Azure AD, Okta)

FAQs
What is DevSecOps and how does it differ from DevOps?
DevSecOps integrates security practices throughout the entire DevOps lifecycles, rather than treating security as a final step. It emphasizes “shift-left” security, where security testing and controls are built into every stage of development, from planning to deployment and monitoring.
How does privileged access management work in DevOps environments?
PAM in DevOps automates the management of privileged credentials and access across CI/CD pipelines. It provides just-in-time access, automatically rotates secrets, monitors privileged sessions, and ensures that both human users and automated processes follow least-privilege principles without slowing development velocity
What are the main security risks in CI/CD pipelines?
Key risks include hardcoded credentials in code, compromised third-party dependencies, inadequate access controls, container vulnerabilities, cloud misconfigurations, and insufficient monitoring of privileged activities. These can lead to supply chain attacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access to production systems.
How can we secure containers and Kubernetes in DevOps?
Container security involves scanning images for vulnerabilities, implementing pod security policies, using least-privilege service accounts securing container registries, and monitoring runtime behavior. PAM solutions help by managing Kubernetes secrets, controlling cluster access, and automating security policy enforcement.
What is "shift-left" security in DevOps?
Shift-left security means moving security practices earlier in the development lifecycles. Instead of testing security at the end, teams integrate security scanning, threat modeling, and access controls from the planning and coding phases, making security faster, cheaper, and more effective.
What compliance requirements affect DevOps security?
DevOps must address requirements from SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulations. These typically require audit trails, access controls, data protection, and risk management processes. PAM solutions help meet these requirements by providing comprehensive logging and access governance.
How do you balance DevOps speed with security requirements?
Balance is achieved through automation, integrated security tools, clear policies, and cultural alignment. Automated security testing, PAM solutions, and developer security training help maintain velocity while reducing risk. Security becomes an enabler rather than a bottleneck when properly integrated.
