Why does DevSecOps still feel like “security vs devs” in 2026?

Been working around DevOps/infra setups for a while, and something still feels broken.

We have better scanners, better CI/CD pipelines, and way more “shift-left” awareness than before. But in reality, most teams I talk to still deal with:

• Alerts with zero context (is this even exploitable?)
• Security tools slowing down releases
• Devs ignoring “non-blocking” issues
• Security teams chasing false positives

It still feels like two separate worlds instead of one workflow.

Recently started exploring ways to make this less painful — more context-aware security, fewer noisy alerts, and fixes that actually fit into existing pipelines (instead of just dumping reports).

Curious how others are solving this:

• Are you relying on SAST/DAST + manual triage?
• Any tools/workflows that actually reduced noise?
• How do you decide what actually matters in production?

Would love to hear real experiences (not vendor pitches
