Haha, Failover/disaster recovery? That's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Continuous security monitoring is the way to keep your pipeline secure.

Failover/disaster recovery? Really? That's like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. Continuous security monitoring is where it's at.

Hmm, I was thinking Design for operations, but Continuous security monitoring makes more sense. Guess I need to brush up on my DevSecOps knowledge.

I'm leaning towards Continuous security monitoring since it emphasizes ongoing security measures, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like this could also tie into Security Operations, but I need to double-check my notes on that.

I'm not sure about this. I'll need to carefully consider how each of these security practices relates to the delivery pipeline to make the best guess.

D) Failover/disaster recovery doesn’t really connect here. It’s about prevention, not recovery.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different security practices and how they fit into the delivery pipeline.
