Body: <p>Or rather marketing slang? 
  Currently, I am not always sure how to build a consense which words deliver informational value and which are thought to attract customers.

  In my experience, the purpose of the "DevSecOps" (or whichever order you prefer) has mostly to do with including Security as a first-order concern of software delivery. Security is commonly treated as a "bolt-on" (often meaning *optional*,) non-functional requirement. DevSecOps attempts to describe a process where security concerns are folded into the delivery process at every step of the value stream.
