Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the old world order, walls divide the teams
InfoSec stands guard while DevOps builds the dreams
Gatekeepers blocking, approvals slow the flow
Every merge request becomes a battle zone

[Chorus]
Embed, don't separate - collaboration wins
Standards, not approval - let the trust begin
DevOps implements while InfoSec defines
Independence with partnership by design
Embed, don't separate - velocity preserved
Audit not control - that's how security's served

[Verse 2]
Traditional silos breed adversarial stress
Compliance-heavy environments feel the mess
But there's a better blueprint for the modern age
Security engineers on the DevOps stage

[Chorus]
Embed, don't separate - collaboration wins
Standards, not approval - let the trust begin
DevOps implements while InfoSec defines
Independence with partnership by design
Embed, don't separate - velocity preserved
Audit not control - that's how security's served

[Bridge]
Separation of duties isn't the enemy
When teams collaborate harmoniously
Controls get implemented, validated too
Trust flows both directions, breakthrough

[Verse 3]
Platform teams with security minds embedded
Governance becomes partnership instead of dreaded
InfoSec sets standards, audits what's in place
DevOps builds the controls at development pace

[Final Chorus]
Embed, don't separate - collaboration wins
Standards, not approval - let the trust begin
DevOps implements while InfoSec defines
Independence with partnership by design
Feature not a bug - when teams align
Security and speed work by design

[Outro]
No more permanent adversaries
Functional model carries
Velocity with oversight
Gets the architecture right
