Overcoming the Unintended Consequence of DevOps

Move Fast and Fix Things!

With the constant pressure for speed and responsiveness, we need to deliver software faster than ever before. Add in the implied expectation that everything delivered is secure, and suddenly software teams cannot keep pace. The unintended consequence of DevOps is that vulnerabilities are being released faster into production.

Overcoming the unintended consequence of DevOps requires an acceptance of increased security responsibility, the adoption of innovative security tooling, and an investment in the people that produce the software itself. A complete mindset change requires more than just a new vocabulary, it demands up-to-the-minute knowledge and education engrained within the daily culture of your software development teams. Please join guest presenter Eric Sheridan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Infrared Security, and our very own Tanya Janca on how we can move fast, and fix things (instead of breaking them).
