Organizational Culture and DevSecOps Adoption: A Thematic Analysis

Abstract

Successfully adopting DevSecOps extends beyond mere technical integration; it profoundly impacts and is in turn impacted by organizational culture. This analysis explores key themes in the literature about implementing DevSecOps and the role organizational culture plays in its adoption. The review highlights the benefits of DevSecOps, such as better security integration, increased automation, and enhanced collaboration. It also identified challenges, including resistance to change, skill gaps, and the influence of leadership. This study provides valuable insights for organizations and leaders to understand better and address cultural barriers, ultimately strengthening their security and software development practices.
