2025 Brings Pressure for DevOps Teams To Showcase New Values

DevOps proves its mission-critical role by aligning technical efforts with business outcomes.

Cybersecurity has evolved from a nice-to-have to a must-have in the last decade. Gartner projects that global information security spending will grow by 15% in 2025. As organizations reassess their cybersecurity budgets for the new year, they focus on strategic investments to deliver the biggest bang for their buck.

While SecOps teams have garnered much of the spotlight for being essential to defense and risk mitigation, DevOps teams are equally critical to protecting and advancing digital assets through application reliability and innovation. While security and developer teams have historically been at odds, as security shifts left, developer teams can take advantage of the stake that security teams have made in the ground to demonstrate their value.

To secure their rightful place in the budget, DevOps teams must prove they are mission-critical to the success of their organization — because they are precisely that. By looking at how SecOps have established their ROI and built internal champions, DevOps teams can similarly showcase their value, aligning their work with ROI and business goals and advocating for themselves and their team.
