Abstract

The accelerating migration of retail enterprises into cloud-native architectures has generated a pressing imperative to blend agility with robust security practices, particularly under the dual pressures of stringent regulatory compliance and sophisticated threat landscapes. This research articulates an integrative framework for Secure DevSecOps in retail cloud ecosystems, foregrounding strategies for embedding automated security throughout the software development lifecycle while navigating compliance mandates and operational resilience. Anchored in the foundational constructs of DevOps and extending through advanced security integration paradigms, this article presents a rich theoretical exploration, critical discourse on emerging practices, and a comprehensive synthesis of empirical findings. By charting the evolution of security practices from traditional siloed models to dynamic DevSecOps cultures, we illuminate how continuous security automation, compliance orchestration, and adaptive resilience engineering together can fortify retail cloud operations against multifaceted risk. The study identifies prevailing gaps in real-time vulnerability detection and compliance reporting, proposes scalable risk management mechanisms, and situates the discourse within broader debates on cloud-native application security governance. Our findings underscore the strategic necessity of reconciling rapid deployment pipelines with proactive security validation, demonstrating how Secure DevSecOps can serve as a linchpin for sustainable, trustworthy retail cloud infrastructures
