- [Instructor] In this chapter, we'll focus on why security tools can't be static. Threats evolve, environments change, and what worked last year may not be slowing you down. Iterating on your tools and technology ensures your DevSecOps practices stay effective, efficient, and aligned with real world needs. Iteration matters because even the best tools lose effectiveness over time. If we don't evolve, we risk outdated coverage, tool fatigue, and slower response times. By continuously refining our tool set, we can close gaps, reduce friction, and keep pace with both emerging threats and business demands. So how do we do this effectively? A few key principles guide the process. First, evaluate tools using meaningful metrics, like meantime to remediate.
