🔐 Breaking Down Gartner’s Latest DevSecOps Hype Cycle
DevSecOps is no longer optional—it’s the new DNA of modern software delivery. Gartner’s Hype Cycle provides a clear lens on what’s hype, what’s struggling, and what’s driving measurable value in security. Here’s the breakdown:
👉 Innovation Trigger – Emerging but not yet fully proven. Think AI-driven threat detection, ML-powered anomaly monitoring, software supply chain security, and SBOM (Software Bill of Materials). These are exciting innovations, but they’re early-stage.
👉 Peak of Inflated Expectations – Tools and methods that sound game-changing but aren’t fully practical for everyone yet. Examples: threat modeling automation, Kubernetes-native security platforms, and advanced runtime scanning. Lots of buzz, but results vary.
👉 Trough of Disillusionment – Where reality hits. Organizations investing heavily in tool sprawl, fragmented security dashboards, or bolt-on solutions often find adoption costs high, ROI low, and developer pushback strong. This is where culture and process gaps show up most.
👉 Slope of Enlightenment – Real-world success stories start emerging. Here we see shift-left practices, security as code, automated compliance checks, cloud infrastructure security automation, and integrated CI/CD security pipelines. These are delivering measurable improvements.
👉 Plateau of Productivity – Mature, proven practices that deliver consistent results. This is where DevSecOps culture, strong collaboration between dev/sec/ops, continuous monitoring, zero-trust principles, and integrated cloud-native security live. Organizations here see faster releases AND stronger protection.
⚡ Key Takeaway: DevSecOps is a journey, not a tool. The winners will be the ones who know which innovations to adopt now, which to monitor, and which to skip until they mature. Security isn’t just about tools—it’s about culture, automation, and embedding trust into every release.
