Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Security used to wait until the end
A gatekeeper that would defend
But problems found so late in line
Cost too much money and too much time
So we moved it left into the flow
Embedded checks where developers go

[Chorus]
DevSecOps shifts security left
SAST scans and container theft
Image vulns and IaC lint
Software composition analysis hints
Automate the things we know
But human judgment steals the show

[Verse 2]
Static analysis scans your code
Finds the flaws in developer mode
Container images get their check
Vulnerabilities we detect
Infrastructure as code reviewed
Security policies imbued

[Chorus]
DevSecOps shifts security left
SAST scans and container theft
Image vulns and IaC lint
Software composition analysis hints
Automate the things we know
But human judgment steals the show

[Bridge]
Known vulnerabilities it finds so well
Misconfigurations it can tell
Dependencies with issues clear
But there are limits we must hear
Threat modeling needs human eyes
Architectural review relies
On judgment that we can't replace
Compliance evidence needs human face

[Verse 3]
The pipeline catches what it can
Following its programmed plan
But complex threats need deeper thought
Some security can't be bought
Through automation alone you see
Partial resolution is the key

[Chorus]
DevSecOps shifts security left
SAST scans and container theft
Image vulns and IaC lint
Software composition analysis hints
Automate the things we know
But human judgment steals the show

[Outro]
It's not complete but it's a start
Automation plays its part
Human expertise fills the gaps
DevSecOps bridges both perhaps
Partial resolution not the end
Security and speed we blend
