DevOps and DevSecOps are two related but distinct approaches to software development.

DevOps is a software development methodology that emphasizes collaboration, communication, and integration between development teams and IT operations teams. The goal of DevOps is to streamline the software development lifecycle and improve the quality of software releases, by breaking down silos between teams and automating as many processes as possible.

DevSecOps is a newer approach that takes the DevOps philosophy one step further by integrating security into the software development process from the very beginning. The goal of DevSecOps is to embed security considerations into every aspect of the software development lifecycle, from planning to deployment, rather than treating security as a separate concern that is addressed after the fact.

In practical terms, this means that DevSecOps teams prioritize security considerations throughout the development process, from threat modeling and vulnerability scanning in the planning stages, to secure coding practices and automated security testing during development, to continuous monitoring and incident response in production.

So, while DevOps is focused on collaboration and automation between development and operations teams, DevSecOps adds security considerations into that equation, making it a more holistic approach to software development.
